PESTS: Book 1
Emer Stamp
‘Riotously funny, with enough expressive drawings and poo jokes to delight Pig fans as well as new readers’ – Guardian
When the lights go off, the PESTS come out! The laugh-out-loud new series from the author/illustrator of the bestselling DIARY OF PIG series and DADDY FARTYPANTS. With amazing GLOW IN THE DARK cover, and a hidden message for young pests to find.
Meet Stix, the tiny but heroic mouse who might be living behind your washing machine. But is he naughty enough to join the PESTS?
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. He probably lives behind your washing machine, but you wouldn’t know it, because his grandma taught him to always stay out of trouble and NEVER let the humans know he’s there. But now Stix has stumbled across P.E.S.T.S. – the Peewit Educatorium for Seriously Terrible Scoundrels – in the basement of his building, and along with a whole host of new pesty friends (and enemies), he’s about to rip up Grandma’s rule book and make a REAL pest of himself…

My favorite person is Batz because she is funny. I would recommend this book to anyone who thinks that they are a P.E.S.T. This book is about a mouse called Stix who lives with his grandmother until … She Gets Flushed Down The Toilet!!! And then Stix learns to be a .P.E.S.T.

Pest was a fiction story about a mouse and his grand ma they use to live secretly in human kitchen but one day his grand ma got flushed into the toilet. Mouse was all alone his another friends (night animals) helped him to get his grand ma out of the toilet. This story was fun to read and gives a lesson of bravery

It was quite creepy and enjoyable. My favorite is Batz because she is quick-thinking, kind and energetic. Maximus is annoying and selfish and disagreeable. I enjoyed reading about 'the blame game'. It was an amazing book.
