    About this ebook

    Max loves animals, but his sneezy, allergic sister means no family pets. He’s so happy when he realizes he can be a pet sitter. But with every job he takes on, there’s always something a bit odd about his new boss. Witches, fairies, goblins, mermaids – why can’t he pet-sit for someone ordinary?

    Max is minding his own business one day when an urgent call comes through from Ivor Gadget. Max has to pet-sit his dormouse, Dixie, for three days while Ivor collects a spare part for a new invention. Ivor is hardly out the door when

    Dixie escapes her cage - little does Max know that a chase beginning in the living room will end up 2000 years away . . .

    Author

    Julie Sykes

    As a child, Julie was always telling tales. Not the 'she ate all the cakenot me' kind but wildly exaggerated tales of everyday events. Julie still loves telling stories. She's written over 100 books for children, some with her friend Linda Chapman, and she is published around the world. Julie lives in Cornwall with her family and a white wolf - cunningly disguised as a dog. When she's not writing she likes eating cake, reading and walking, often at the same time.
