Editor reviews

Nothing is going right for poor Ginger in this hilarious audiobook from Morris Gleitzman. It’s one thing to have a cat sneak into your schoolbag, but what happens when you are allergic to cats? This is just the beginning of the comical missteps and follies that surround Ginger as she tries to navigate a school and a family with whom she doesn’t seem to fit in. Teacher’s Pet, performed enthusiastically by the author himself, is another great story from Gleitzman about more than just cats, dogs, and mean school principals, but also about one kid’s wishes to simply fit in.

Summary

What do you take to Pets Day at school when you're allergic to cats and the new principal? A very large stray dog of course. Answering that question is much easier than the one she has to ask herself at home. Is she a pet, as Mum's always saying, or a stray herself?

Critic reviews

"Morris Gleitzman is a natural as he reads his own story of Ginger, a young girl who is filled with well-justified anxiety concerning the authority figures in her life. Teachers, principals, parents, in fact almost everyone over four feet tall, seem bent on the destruction of the things that make Ginger feel good about herself. A bright girl with a remarkable vocabulary of nonsense swear words, Ginger embarks on a campaign to find homes for a community of stray dogs. With his uncanny knack for entering the mind of a 10-year-old, Gleitzman, bestselling Australian author of middle-readers' books, delivers another fast-moving story in which a child is responsible for solving her own dilemma and, in doing so, learns how to navigate a hazardous adult world."
