A brilliantly funny animal school adventure about a mismatched group of friends from master storyteller and multi-award-winning author Patrick Ness. SHORTLISTED FOR THE CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR WRITING 2026. "Hilarious, bonkers, brilliant!" Katie Tsang 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 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 it out for 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?
