It's a story about a 12-year-old prince called Zach. His parents think he is lazy and useless. Things begin to change when he has to work for the hardworking royal Administrator, Barnabus. This man, unbeknownst to his employers has a very interesting (and appealing!) filing system. Barnabus asks Zach to sort out the 'chaos' of the royal zoo. Far from being lazy, Zach is intrigued by the mythological creatures and takes great interest in their welfare. Now that he has an interest and a purpose, Zach works really hard for a whole week. In doing so he helps to save the zoo and to initiate his parents good faith in him. The descriptions and actions of the mythological creatures will appeal to those readers who like fantasy and weird characters. They will also gain an understanding of the lure of the mermaids! Ages 9-12. ** Book by an Australian author or illustrator |
