Wendy Quill Tries to Grow a Pet - Softcover
When I grow up I want to be a vet but mum doesn't like things that poo in the house which means I'll never be allowed another pet. Not even one. Tiny. Small. Pet.
It is true that I have Bathilda Brown, my beautiful, invisible, dribbly dog. But if I'm ever going to be a PROPER, PROFESSIONAL VET, I'm going to need lots of animals that I can actually see.
My name is Wendy Quill and this is the story of how I tried to grow a pet!

About the Author:
Wendy spent many years teaching English at Oxford University but has taken a break from academia in order to concentrate on her writing. With a farm in North Africa, a wobbly old house in Wiltshire, 4 young children and a Berber husband, there's always plenty to write about! Mina is Wendy's
eleven-year-old daughter. She is much better at drawing than her mother. She is also better at singing, dancing, mathematics, Arabic, writing, and doing a backwards crab. (But please don't tell anyone about the writing bit, or Wendy will lose her job).
