When Daniel's parents go to Scotland instead of celebrating his tenth birthday, he's not impressed. What's more, they've left his dipsy Aunt Tink in charge, and given him a plant as his present. What happened to the pet he'd begged for? Can you really blame him for wishing he had a guinea pig instead of his stupid show-off brother? Or for the fact it actually came true? But with nutty bullies, crazy chefs and mad scientists about, the race is on for Daniel to somehow undo the magic before his parents find out. (And to save his brother of course. Even if he is eating his own poo.) This highly funny book is ideal for independent readers and will be enjoyed by even reluctant readers. Every page is full of amazing illustrations that bring the story to life.
