Book Synopsis

When the kids are away, the pets will play! A side-splittingly hilarious graphic novel for fans of The Secret Life of Pets and Bunny vs Monkey.

A new animal is arriving at St Bernard’s Academy, and the current class pets could not be more excited. That’s until who they find out their new friend is actually a terrifying, and very hungry, snake! He’s already eaten the headteacher and has his eye on some more furry snacks.

It’s up to the class pets to join forces and save the day, but everything they know will be tested in an epic fight to survive. Can Goldie the fish find a use for school cafeteria food? Will Mrs Sprinkles the Guinea pig discover if there’s ever a wrong time for glitter glue? Can Ken the stick insect survive being cut in half?

These questions and MORE answered in a the first of a riotous new young fiction series from best-selling picture book superstar Beach.

Our Review Panel says...

An easy-to-read, comic-style story! Class Pets follows the adventures of the class pets at St Benedict’s Academy and will leave you holding your sides through stitches of laughter!

When the pets join a FaceTime call, they are excited at the discovery of a new class pet. However, their excitement soon turns to fear when they discover that the newcomer is far more threatening than they ever imagined. As chaos unfolds, the animals must work together to rid the school of the slithery fiend. But with the headteacher mysteriously missed, can they save the day before it’s too late?

Packed with laugh-out-loud moments, clever puns and entertaining illustrations, I think Class Pets will make a fantastic read for children developing their reading confidence. The comic-style format makes the story accessible and engaging, while the humour keeps readers hooked from start to finish.
