In this stunning debut from Ruby Wright, Maisie's enthusiasm and her mum's imagination will capture your heart.

Maisie's head is full of animal facts! She desperately wants a pet of her own, but Mum says their flat is too small. Luckily a packet of animal crackers is about to grant Maisie's wish. But as a whole zoo-full of animals come to stay there are some unexpected results. (Well... Mum expected them.) This exciting debut mixes fantasy and wish fulfilment with the reality of modern children's lives.

Maisie discovers that with a great number of pets comes an even greater amount of responsibility. And poop-scooping.

About the Author
