Book Band: Lime, ideal for ages 6+

A funny, uplifting tale about family and the healing power of pets from internationally published author, Chitra Soundar.

No Pets Allowed! A Bloomsbury Reader follows Keva, who loves helping out at Grandpa’s pet adoption centre. When her grandfather has to go to hospital, she knows that his best friend, Atlas the tortoise, is just the thing to cheer him up.
