The Chameleon Thief
How far would you go to save your worst enemy?
‘Even jerks need saving sometimes.’
Attica and Jinni have been best friends since forever. So it makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE that Jinni suddenly hates her.
And it makes even less sense that Jinni is trying to cheat her way to the top of the LIZARD, the country’s biggest school competition.
Now Attica and her fellow dumped friends Neil and Snez have to decide: do they let Jinni get caught? Or can they find a way to stop their new enemy before it’s too late?
For their brilliant plan to work, Attica, Neil and Snez will need to pull off the world’s greatest magic trick, with help from an impossible hairdo, the rudest bunnies on Earth, and their newest friend: a green, scaly reptile with a talent for blending in.
Who will win? Who will lose?
And who will become the chameleon thief?
