Petopia — Patrick Jennings

PETOPIA, by the author of GUINEA DOG, is the first in a funny middle-grade series just right for kids who love pets and humor. Add a little touch of magic and you have all the ingredients to appeal to animal-loving readers who enjoy Bruce Coville, James Howe, and Louis Sachar.

Iowa Diamond, a quiet middle-school girl, wishes she had siblings. Her grandmother decides that she needs a sweet, soft, fuzzy, quiet pet to cheer her up. A bunny is the perfect choice Fluffy. Not demanding. Not intrusive. Quiet. So how did they end up with a bunny that talks like a parrot? That is Talkative. Chatty. That will get you in trouble? Because Petopia, the magic pet shop, knows exactly what you really need.
