Vets and pets: Jamie and the magic whistle

By Helen Brain, Nicky Webb, Rico Schacherl, Nicky Webb and Rico Schacherl

Jamie wants to impress her headmistress, but with a family like hers it’s going to take more than straight A’s. Luckily the dog show is coming up and Jamie has a plan. Fungi, her bouncy, scruffy, underpants-stealing dog will be the Best Behaved Dog in the competition. That means she needs Doctor Knight’s Magic Whistle, but first she has to get past Bieber, her brother’s monkey. As if this isn’t enough, her irritating, allergy-prone cousin, Fifi, is coming to stay for a whole week and her brother Tick has discovered the recipe for itching powder . . . Jamie’s mother is a vet and life among all kinds of adorable pets is never dull. A humorous, fun-filled story with a wild streak of raucous entertainment, bursting with adventurous animal antics.
