The misadventures of Rowena Batts continue in this poignant but hilarious sequel to Blabber Mouth. “Rowena’s circumstances may be very particular, but her brio in surmounting an almost universal set of fears should win a wide audience indeed.”--Publishers Weekly

Sticky Beak
Review:
When Rowena Batts, a young mute girl, teams up with a disturbed and mistreated cockatoo with a deep-rooted attitude problem, she begins to understand that there are some dilemmas that need to be faced head on, despite the endless obstacles life insists on throwing into her path. The eternally saucy Morris Gleitzman, author of Blabber Mouth, Second Childhood and Misery Guts, stamps his own personal, fresh and sassy style on this hysterically funny yet spookily heartwarming story.
As per usual, Gleitzman treats his characters with deference and humour, and encourages the reader to empathise with them while making them laugh out loud. Rib- tickling farce coupled with Gleitzman's enviable talent for making the reader face up to difficult issues, Sticky Beak is a little gem of a book which will appeal to anyone with a love of intelligent, quirky fiction that treats its characters and its readers with respect. --Susan Harrison
