Laugh-out-loud funny and a wonderful story about finding your voice. I loved it! David Walliams
Anarchically silly fun!' Guardian
Sidesplitting middle grade comedy, with serious heart (and one very funny llama). Illustrated by Allen Fatimaharan, the official illustrator for World Book Day 2022.
Yasmin is starting secondary school soon and her talking toy best friend Levi is well excited about it! Theyll get to continue their Guardian Llama missions to help kids with their problems, just like how Levi helped Yasmin find her voice.
Secretly though, Yasmin is worried that people will think shes weird for carrying a toy llama around, and maybe it isnt the best idea for Levi to come with her . . .
But with a family seaside holiday promising lots of beachside thrills to distract her, Yasmin is ready to have fun with Levi and her (human) best friend Ezra.
Except somethings up with Yasmins cousin Omar and soon, finding out what turns out to be one of Yasmin and Levis toughest missions yet.
Another hilarious adventure full of drama and dodgems and along the way, Yasmin learns shes not the only one whos worried about being weird!
I adored this book! [] Funny and meaningful, a delight from start to finish.', Netgalley reviewer
'Levi is brilliant fun and is possibly the best talking animal since Donkey in Shrek', Netgalley reviewer
''Anarchically silly fun!'', Guardian
Featuring mixed heritage characters, it is full of mayhem and zany humour, and accompanied by hilarious black-and-white illustrations. BookTrust
Annabelle Sami is a writer, director and performer who currently works in the arts. It was whilst reading children's books when babysitting that she realised there was a lack of representation of funny girls and diverse characters in children's books - and she decided to do something about it. Growing up mixed-race, she never found her own life reflected in a book and now it's her mission to make sure that every spirited, witty and adventurous girl has her own special book that she can relate to. Her middle-grade mystery series, Agent Zaiba Investigates, is published by Stripes.
