When Zeke the monitor lizard becomes a hall monitor at his school, his life takes an unexpected turn.
Persistent bullying by Pelicarnassus, a wannabe pelican supervillain comes to a head and he gets in big trouble. Fuming with himself and yet eager to show the bully that he isn’t getting away with it, he calls on the help of his friends to stop the torment once and for all.
New pupil, a blind hawk named Miel, shows Zeke that he is more than just a monitor lizard, he is brave, courageous and a good friend. When Pelicaranassus turns up with a huge unwanted surprise for everyone, it’s time for Zeke and his friends to save their school.
A hilarious and yet poignant story of friendship where it’s least expected and the joy that comes with having allies.
Patrick Ness has created something wonderful in Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody as it portrays school life amongst the corridors alongside the more serious elements of bullying, young carers, adult depression and anxiety.
Superb illustrations by Tim Miller bring all the animals to life as the story unfolds.
A relatable fly-on-the-wall experience for every reader.
Zeke will steal a little piece of your heart but I am absolutely fine with that as it would be an honour to be his friend.
