Middle-grade just got a whole lot funnier - if you can get past the mayhem, the strangeness and a touch of the unreal.
For thirteen-year-old Joey, the best thing about summer is the epic water fights with his best mate. Hoses, buckets, taps-they're using it all. But the fun dries up fast when Joey finds a giant frilled-neck lizard in his bathroom.
In an instant, the tiles are gone, replaced with endless sand dunes, blazing heat, and a sun that feels like it's out to fry him alive.
The lizard isn't just any lizard-it's Freddy, straight out of Joey's little sister's storybook, and Freddy isn't here to play games. He's here to prove Joey is wasting water, and is on a mission to make Joey see how precious it is.
Joey doesn't want the lecture. But when his best mate gets caught in Freddy's scorching desert world, the only way to save him is to listen.
With Sienna by his side, Joey must figure out how to beat the heat-and maybe learn a thing or two about saving water-before it's too late.

Frances Dall'Alba lives in far north Queensland, Australia, a place where rain falls often and the landscape is dotted with lakes, mountains, and rainforest. As a thirteen-year-old, she grew up on a dairy farm, where she spent her days walking the road between home and the dairy, happily splashing through puddles in her gumboots. The farm was home to cows, but also to a few more unexpected visitors-snakes, spiders, myna birds, and cane toads.Despite the occasional intruders, the beauty of her surroundings made it easy to love her home-whether it was the creeks winding through the land or the sunsets painting the sky-it was enough to keep her enchanted by the world around her.Now, as an adult, Frances recognizes that there's a little bit of Joey in every young teen-a kid caught between innocence and the chaos of life. Throw in some giant animals, both real and imagined, and it's clear how unpredictable their lives can get. Especially when you can't see the cuteness.
