A laugh-out-loud tale of young love from the bestselling author of the Mr. Gum series.

Sterling and the Canary tells the story of Sterling Thaxton, who is in love with Lizzie Harris – the beautiful new girl. Her hair is the colour of magic. Her nose is as sweet as music. Her arms are as slender as rainbows. The problem is, she's not interested. Luckily, a small yellow canary turns up with some excellent advice.

Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 7.
