What our pupils thought

“Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody is a funny and bonkers book that will make you laugh out loud. My favourite character was Daniel, I thought he had ADHD, so he can keep going for the whole session. It was great to have a neurodivergent character. If you like reading books before bed then give this a try. You will also enjoy the brilliant illustrations throughout the book.”

“You should read this book because it is hilarious! I recommend this book to children in year 2 and KS2 because it is a chapter book but the chapters are quite short. I really liked the book because it actually has true facts in and they are super fascinating to read especially the ones about wombats (no spoilers here) My Favourite part is when Zeke fights Pelicarnassus because it was so tense and made me want to read more!”

“This was a funny chapter book which was enjoyable and easy to read. It had some great unexpected turns. I am not usually a fan of books like this, I prefer magical books, but this has changed my mind! I thought the characters were hilarious, I loved that the lizards were monitor lizards and became hall monitors – great joke!”

“I enjoyed this book because of the funny jokes and great action. I think children in year 2 would like it if an adult read it because they would get the jokes too. Children in KS2 would love it because they could definitely read it themselves and find it funny. There is bullying in it but I think it just shows that everyone can do the right thing in the end.”

“Zeke and his friends are hall monitors , well for a while. Until, here he comes… Pelicarnassus thinking he’s above everyone! Zeke quickly finds his life turning upside down! You should definitely read this book if you want a good chuckle! I liked the fun facts about Principal Wombat – they have armoured bottoms – seriously?”

“Zeke was my favourite character because he likes to protect himself and his friends. He has a bully at school but still wants to be a good friend and I think that is important. He has two friends, who he would do anything for. I did feel bad for Zeke because his dad has died and his mum is finding things difficult.”
