PESTS is a very funny, irreverent new middle-grade book from Emer Stamp – author and illustrator of the bestselling Diary of Pig books.
PESTS introduces Stix. Stix is the size of an egg cup, can jump the width of a dog’s bottom, and LOVES cheese. That’s because Stix is a mouse.
Stix might be small, but he is mighty. And he may just live behind your washing machine…
Stix’s grandma warned him to never let the humans see him. But now, things have changed. Stix has stumbled across P.E.S.T.S. – the Peewit Educatorium for Seriously Terrible Scoundrels.
This new series from Emer Stamp is full of the broad, scatological humour which made Diary of Pig such a hit.
Perfect for 7 to 9 year olds, and reluctant readers of all ages.
Stamp brings the same militant, irreverent energy to this book that she did with her Diary of Pig series. Those with a scatological sense of humour…will find Pests particularly entertaining.
