Series: Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody

From the bestselling author of A Monster Calls, this funny, wise, middle-grade series explodes every stereotype - including what it means to be a hero - in a brilliant reptilian take on surviving school.

In Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody, master storyteller Patrick Ness presents the hilarious adventures of a mismatched group of animals attending school together, brought to life by brilliantly funny illustrations.

Zeke and Daniel have just been made hall monitors by Principal Wombat. This has nothing to do with the fact that they are monitor lizards. And never mind the fact that Alicia - the only other monitor lizard in the school - is also a hall monitor.

Somehow, the three hall monitors must impose order on arrogant lions, excitable seals and super-relaxed pandas. And worst of all, there is Pelicarnassus - a pompous giant pelican and the son of a major supervillain, who inexplicably has a target on the lizards. Can the hall monitor lizards and their new friend - a blind, fearsome red-tailed hawk - protect their school from all manner of outlandish threats?
