ABOUT the book :
When Daniel arrives at the school bus stop sportng a salmon-coloured hat, Zeke is shocked. Don’t only birds wear hats? As if this isn’t strange enough, the school suddenly has a new student – a fish of all things – and a mysterious new Guidance Counsellor.
Meanwhile, Zeke’s friends seem to have ditched him, and even his old nemesis won’t give him the time of day. So, when somebody melts his house with the Death Ray of Death – twice – Zeke has had enough. Just who is sabotaging his life – and why?
The school adventures of monitor lizards Daniel and Zeke continue in a second wild and wacky adventure from the genius imagination of Patrick Ness. Packed with laughs on every page, the Chronicles series keep young readers engaged while also building empathy.
