Book description
THE BEAK SPEAKS: Mark is concerned that his dad has too much to
do since his mum left - looking after him and his sister Tammy, the
house and his vet's practice. He advertises for a girlfriend for his
dad and soon the surgery is full of eager women, including the
beautiful, but evil, Divine and her ugly henchman, Jaundice. This pair
of crooks are smuggling animals and need a vet to look after them.
Mark's dad is a sucker for Divine, but just to make sure of his help,
she kidnaps the children. Luckily Mark has made friends with one of
the smuggled chimps, Arnold Teabag, who is a bit of an escape artist,
and the chimp brings help.
CHICKEN SCHOOL: Tim's family is the Most Boring Family In The

just as boring too. But one day a phantom message about Tim appears
and everything changes. Who is the day-glo scribbler - and what's so
special about chickens anyway?

the rest of his life and refuses to take any responsibility. He loves
