PyjamazooEvelyn only wants one thing: To get through 6th grade at her new school without everyone finding out that her family is crazy-and there's a zoo in their basement. When the most popular girl in school insists that Evelyn have a sleepover, it looks like Evelyn's dream of being normal is about to be smashed. Evelyn tries to get her new friend, Florence, to help-but Florence's first visit to Evelyn's home ends badly, thanks to a surprise encounter with frozen mice. Then a missing snake and bossy parrot only make things worse. If Evelyn can't get out of this sleepover, the whole school will find out her family is not normal. This wacky tale is packed with fun, feathers and friendship-and a sleepover that no one will ever forget. En Francais! ?velyne a un seul but en t?te: terminer la classe de sixi?me de sa nouvelle ?cole avant que tout le monde d?couvre que sa famille est bizarre et qu'il y a un zoo dans leur sous-sol. Quand la fille la plus populaire de l'?cole insiste pour qu'?velyne invite un groupe d'?l?ves ? passer la nuit chez elle, il semble que le r?ve d'?velyne d'?tre normale soit en passe de n'?tre qu'un r?ve apr?s tout. ?velyne demande ? sa nouvelle amie Florence de l'aider, mais la premi?re visite de Florence chez Evelyne se termine mal, d'abord ? cause d'une rencontre avec des souris congel?es, ensuite parce que la d?couverte d'un serpent ?gar? et les m?faits d'un perroquet chapardeur n'ont fait qu'aggraver la situation. Si ?velyne n'arrive pas ? annuler cette soir?e pyjama, l'?cole enti?re d?couvrira que sa famille n'est pas normale. Cette histoire dingue est celle d'une famille diff?rente dans laquelle parents, enfants et animaux partagent une s?rie d'aventures in?narrables qui se terminent par une soir?e pyjama inoubliable. A Personal Note From The Author:
The idea for this novel came from a real-life wild bird care center that I worked in for several years. It was run by a kind-hearted family who took in any bird (and animal) that people found on the streets-and, wow, they found a lot! Like Evelyn's family, we cared for a one-legged goose, a hawk with a broken wing, sparrows, owls, baby pigeons, snakes, abandoned kittens and more. During the two years that I worked there, I lost dozens of cups of coffee because their caffeine-addicted parrot would perch on my mug as soon as my head was turned, and then would NOT let me have it back until he'd drunk it all or tipped it over. Like L?onie, I lost a pretty gold earring when their parrot decided it was a tick and chewed it off before I could stop him. I spent many lunches trying to keep my food away from their always-hungry Great Dane and, like Evelyn, I finally got used to opening up the big basement freezer and seeing bags of dead mice beside the ice cream! The one thing I never quite got used to? Being chased out of their bathroom every day by a very annoyed one-legged goose who was CONVINCED that the tub was his (despite the fact that it was the only bathroom in the house, so we all had to use it). Taking care of injured birds is a ton of work, but it was the most fun job I've ever had, and I learned more about wildlife than I could have ever imagined. I had a blast writing this story and reliving all of those wonderful memories, and I'm glad I can now share them with kids.If you'd love to find more fun French kids books-or childrens French chapter books are on your wish list-then PYJAMAZOO is for you!
