Author Serena Patel joins us to talk about her new book Pia's Pet Club.
Serena will introduce you to Pia, a girl who loves pets, but isn't allowed one of her own! She will test your pet-based knowledge with a PAWesome quiz (do you know what percentage of the time cats spend sleeping?) and you’ll get the chance to create your own pet story character!
Pia LOVES pets, but no matter how much she begs her parents for one, the answer is always NO! But Pia doesn't give up easily...She decides to help her friend Hari train his troublesome puppy, Luna, to show her parents that she can look after one of her own. But when Luna continues to cause CHAOS, Pia will need to work really hard to show her how to behave.
It's time to join forces with her animal-loving friends, and form Pet Club! But will Pia ever get a pet of her very own?
