Pamela Butchart (Author)
Pamela lives in Dundee with her young son and their awesome cat, Bear. If she wasn't working as a writer and a teacher she'd like to open a luxury hotel for stray cats.
As a child, Pamela was lucky enough to grow up in a house full of pets and go to a primary school where lots of spooky and weird things happened (well, in her imagination at least). As a student, Pamela's student jobs included: fishwife, teaching basketball in America, phlebotomist and Artist Liaison for a (really bad) Abba tribute band.
Her top selling stories include The Spy Who Loved School Dinners which won the Blue Peter Best Story Award and My Head Teacher is a Vampire Rat which won The Children's Book Award. Two of her books, Petunia Perry and the Curse of the Ugly Pigeon and There's a Werewolf in My Tent, were shortlisted for the Lollies - the Laugh Out Loud Awards.
Thomas Flintham (Illustrator)
Thomas Flintham studied BA Fine Art at De Montfort University and in 2009 he graduated with a distinction in his Masters degree in Illustration at Camberwell College of the Arts, South London.
Thomas works digitally, drawing straight into his computer with his Wacom tablet, and in the old fashioned way on paper with brush and ink and drawing pens. He loves to draw and doodle. He has a very loose grip on reality, and enjoys disappearing into his own imagination in search of new characters, worlds and ideas to draw.
His work is influenced by his interest in all kinds of books, films, comics and Japanese video games. He loves Christmas and chocolate. He owns (almost) too many books.
The fifteenth in a smash hit series of hilarious tales about primary school life from best-selling, award-winning creators! Packed with excellent black and white illustrations, this is the perfect longer read for newly confident readers.
Nothing is quite as it seems for Izzy and her friends, and the drama is always off the scale!
When Izzy and friends get a new teacher, they are immediately suspicious. Why does she have two computers set up on her desk? Why does she speak Spanish when they're supposed to be doing maths? Why does she have a pink wig and sunglasses in her car?
And WHY DOES SHE HAVE A DRAWER FULL OF DIAMONDS? Because she's an international jewel thief, of course, and MUST BE STOPPED!
Have you read these brilliantly funny Izzy and friends adventures?
Praise for Izzy and friends:
"Butchart has enviable comic timing and a shrewd understanding of how primary-aged children think, speak and speculate. Punchy short chapters, genuinely laugh-out-loud humour and Flintham's zany pictures make the series an absolute must." - The Bookseller
"Good jokes and lots of fun, and especially good for reluctant readers." - Sunday Times
I GASPED and Jodi gave me a LOOK.
Then she put her fingers to her lips, which meant she wanted us to be SILENT so that we could hear what Miss Ismail was WHISPERING to herself.
That's when Jodi picked up her sandwich and PRETENDED to take a bite and then put it back down and did PRETEND CHEWING.
Then she gave us WIDE EYES, which meant she wanted us to do the same.
So we all copied her and I noticed that Jodi was moving her seat a tiny bit CLOSER to Miss Ismail every time she took a PRETEND BITE and I knew that she was doing it so she could hear better.
Then all of a sudden Miss Ismail started talking LOUDER and that's when we heard that she was talking in a foreign language!
Then all of a sudden she SHOUTED a bit and then got up and left.
"What was THAT?" said Zach.
But I just shook my head because I had NO IDEA what had just happened!
Zach said that maybe Miss Ismail had been talking to herself about the SOUP because she didn't like it and that SORT of made sense because the vegetable soup is completely DISGUSTING at our school. And one time when I got it it was STUCK and HARD at the edges and when I sneaked over to the bin to throw it away it actually slid out of the bowl in ONE PIECE!
Jodi said that she didn't think Miss Ismail had been whispering and shouting at the soup (even though it was one of the worst things she had ever seen in her life).
Jodi said that she thought Miss Ismail had been speaking on her PHONE and that was why she'd been whispering to start with because phones are NOT ALLOWED at our school and they are ESPECIALLY not allowed at DINNERS.
I put my arm around Maisie because I didn't want her to be scared and Zach leaned over the table and put his sandwich under her mouth and she sniffed it then took a bite and we were all glad because she obviously needed the ENERGY so she didn't FAINT.
Once Maisie had taken five bites and opened both eyes, Jodi took a deep breath and said, "I think it's time to spy on Miss Ismail."
