About the author

As a child, Pamela was lucky enough to grow up in a house full of pets and go to a primary school where lots of spooky and weird things happened (well, in her imagination at least). As a student, Pamela’s student jobs included: fishwife, teaching basketball in America, phlebotomist and Artist Liaison for a (really bad) Abba tribute band. Now, when she’s not writing or going out and about meeting readers, Pamela teaches philosophy to teenagers.

Her top selling stories include The Spy Who Loved School Dinners which won the Blue Peter Best Story Award and My Head Teacher is a Vampire Rat which won The Children’s Book Award. Two of her books, Petunia Peri and There’s a Werewolf in My Tent, were shortlisted for the Lollies – the Laugh Out Loud Awards.

Pamela lives in Dundee with her baby boy and their two awesome cats, Bear & Carlos. If she wasn’t working as a writer and a teacher she’d like to open a luxury hotel for stray cats.

This was pretty dreadful but the kids did enjoy it more than I did. At times it was a struggle to get through the sentences. It's kind of a Tom Gates rip-off and I would absolutely not recommend it for reading aloud.

Šioji serija kažkaip ima pabosti... Vėl kaltininkas - prastas rašymo stilius. Iš pradžių galėjau į jį nekreipti dėmesio, nes knygos veiksmas buvo įdomus ir buvo smagu spėlioti, kaip ten iš tikrųjų yra. Bet po kelių - penkių??? - knygų kažkaip viskas suvienodėjo. Šįkart vaikai netgi ištraukti iš įprastos aplinkos ir vėl yra išvykoje, bet naujumo nepakanka, kad galėčiau knygą pavadinti įdomia.

Septynmetė su manimi griežtai nesutiktų :)

Ir tikriausiai šis rašymo stilius tiktų vaikams, kurie mokosi patys skaityti. Daug pasikartojančių žodžių, stambus šriftas, daug juokingų paveiksliukų.

Amazing

[Mary Pimbblet · Rating 3 out of 5]

This seemed a bit of a rushed effort compared to most of the books in this series. Often the chapter descriptions didn’t reflect the content of the chapters, and the blurb seemed to be inaccurate as well.
There’s a good idea behind this, but it just doesn’t really seem to work. The parts that should be included in the book seem to be cut out, and the story feels very rushed and disjointed.
My eight year old still enjoyed this, and trying to predict what the truth behind the monster was, but even she was confused why the blurb was talking about monsters that ate crisps and then the story was about a sandwich eating monster.

I read this one with my 8 year old, he's really into dragons and monsters at the moment so he was excited to read this!

Mix a school trip, a holiday resort where a monster is believed to lurk in the lake, missing teachers, and a packed lunch - and you are left with this humorous tale full of mishaps and mayhem!

The illustrations add to the story and my son thought they were brilliant. He really enjoyed this book and wants to read some of the other in this series.

As a 35 year old adult, I thought it was a great story too!

Easy read. Fun story to introduce mildly spooky stories to children. Includes humour. My only criticism is that it is a bit drawn out (in hopes that it drawers the reader in I suppose), but as a parent who has a 9 yr old with the attention span of a goldfish, he would just skip to the 'good part' if he felt it was long winded. Other than that im looking forward to reading other stories from this series.

I Finished This in 3 days! But, its not my level of reading.
What Happened -
Izzy and her friends went on a school trip to a vast lake. However, some reported they witnessed a monster lurking on land and water! Thats when the 4 went on a mission, with Gary, knowing there had to be an explanation...

[Mini Reviewers · Rating 5 out of 5]

The blurb sounded really good, I was amazed once I started reading.
I liked how Maisey kept on fainting and that the sea Monster wasn't real!
I loved this book so much I used the characters in my free write lesson.

[Ellie Bixby · Rating 3 out of 5]

A fun book read to my class who were quite engaged. The language was very repetitive; 'and that's when..' which made it quite boring. Fab as a pleasure read but not for anything else.

Można mi mówić, że jestem na to za stary but I don't care, I love it

[St4rb0y247 · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked the pictures and enjoyed the big writing with stars around, and it was funny as well.

[Bethany McTeare · Rating 3 out of 5]

Was a good book which was easy to read with the dyslexia friendly font but it dragged on for a while, could’ve been a much shorter book

Ale że święta spędzę z książką dla dzieci, to się nie spodziewałam.

My daughter would give this a 5 and I would give it a 3, hence the 4 star review.

As a teacher I like to see what my kids are reading. This was very funny and I can see why she is a popular author.

[Bettsie Wake · Rating 3 out of 5]

Got boring after about 10-12 chapters but other than that it was ok but I didn't finish it.

Laba diena! Dar viena mokyklos detektyvų serijos knyga suskaityta! Galiu drąsiai užsimerkusi teigti, kad ši knygų serija Pranulio pati mėgstamiausia. Jis nekantraudamas laukia kada pasirodys naujos dalys ir visad būna išsiilgęs Izos ir jos šutvės. O pastaruoju metu labiausiai jam imponuoja Garis Peris - mokyklos išdykėlis ir pokštų krėtėjas. Tad kviečiu susipažinti jau su aštuntąja mokyklos detektyvų serijos knyga.

Šioje dalyje pasakojama apie ketvirtokų išvyką prie ežero. Ežeras gilus, gal net šiek tiek šiurpus. Atvykus ima dėtis keisti dalykai. Kai pradingsta užkandžiai, draugai viską kaip mat supranta. Ežere gyvena alkana pabaisa! Tad Iza, Džudė, Meisė ir Zakas pasiraitoję rankoves vėl imasi tirti naują mokyklos detektyvą ir aiškintis ežero pabaisos šiurpiausias paslaptis.

Tiems, kas negirdėjote apie šią knygų seriją, noriu priminti, kad tai be galo šmaikščios ir nuotaikingos pradinės mokyklos išdaigos. Pagrindiniai istorijų veikėjai - keturi draugai, bandantys išsiaiškinti mokyklos paslaptis. Ar mokyklos direktorius yra vampyras? Ar mokyklos stovykloje yra vilkolakis? Ar mokyklos maiste yra nuodų? O galbūt ežere gyvena pabaisa?! Istorijas galima skaityti ne iš eilės, jos viena su kita nesusijusios.

Visos knygos padailintos nuostabiomis grafinėmis Thomas Flintham iliustracijomis, kurios suteikia žaismingumo, sužadina vaizduotę. Svarbiausia, mažieji skaitytojai knygose mato save. Juk pagrindiniai herojai yra mokiniai, kurie išgyvena visą pradinės mokyklos žavesį ir chaosą.

Tad, jei manai, kad mokykloje nevyksta nieko įdomaus, labai klysti! Rekomenduojame perskaityti priešmokyklinukams ir pradinių klasių mokiniams, arba tiems, kas turi nostalgiškų prisiminimų apie savo pradinę mokyklą.

P.s Knygos tinkamos pradedantiems mokytis skaityti. Knygų serijos dalys para��ytos dideliu šriftu, papildytos žodžiais, parašytais didžiosiomis raidėmis.

Such a quick and fun read!

I read it in a few hours, even though It this book is not for my age but I really enjoyed it!

This book would definitely be really good for younger people. So I'm giving this book a 3/5 because it was pretty fun and I probably I didn't enjoy it that much as I would if I was younger. Still a great read. Would recommend.
