Meet Pia, the girl who loves pets but isn't allowed one of her own, in this Official World Book Day £1 book! A fabulously funny animal adventure from the award-winning creators of Anisha, Accidental Detective.

Pia and her best friend Hari are thrilled to spend the day with the Pet Club gang at the community fair, raising money and having lots of fun. But chaos strikes when the star of the Amazing Animal Roadshow, Iggy the Iguana, vanishes just before he's needed onstage! With the clock ticking and clues leading them on a wild chase through the bustling fair, Pia and her friends must work together and think fast. Can they track down the mischievous Iggy in time to save the day - or will Iggy's great escape steal the spotlight?
