Children's & Educational; General fiction (Children's&YA)

Experience the hilarious misadventures of Ginger as she tries to navigate the chaos of school, family ... and allergies.

'Another example of Gleitzman's real talent in writing honest stories that hit home with kids.' Kids Book Review LONGLISTED FOR THE 2003 CHILDREN'S PEACE LIT AWARD

Ginger is allergic to cats. And possibly to her family as well.

She's also not keen on the cat food in her breakfast bowl or the school principal trying to kill her best friend.

The question on everyone's lips is - will Ginger snap?

Join Ginger as she navigates through her worst week ever, complete with sneezing allergies, evil Vice Principals, and the feeling of not fitting in.

The cast of characters and series of events will have you in stitches, but underneath the hilarity lies a deeper issue of a girl struggling to find her place in the world.

Morris Gleitzman once again demonstrates his exceptional ability in creating truthful and poignant narratives for children, evoking empathy and encouraging readers to identify with relatable themes and characters.

Reviews for Teacher's Pet: from the Australian Children's Laureate for 2018 and 2019

'Another example of Gleitzman's real talent in writing honest stories that hit home with kids. In usual Gleitzman style, there are deeper underlying issues behind the hilarity, this time being a girl feeling worried and like she doesn't fit in anywhere. Her parents are always too busy for her, her teachers are out to get her, and she just doesn't belong.' KIDS' BOOK REVIEW (Megan Blandford)
