Book Description

November 1, 1988 8 and upMinstrel Book
Liz's house is like a zoo. Thanks to her dad, a zoologist, there are turtles in the kitchen, an ibex in the backyard, a hawk in the shed, a sun porch full of lizards -- and Fred the ferret.

Liz has had enough! At school, her nickname is Lizard. Her classmates think she's weird and her friends are afraid to go to her house. WIth problems like those, how is she ever going to win the election for class president?

Liz tries her hardest, but she runs into one disaster after another. So she makes the startling decision -- the animals must go. Even Fred, her pet ferret. That will make all the difference in the world...won't it?

5.0 out of 5 stars A great lesson in friendship and personal discovery, May 26, 1999
Liz learns a lesson that few adults have managed: what really is important in life and who are your friends. The animal information is up to date and mostly true (the indication that the Fred the ferret is a wild animal is one of the rare goofs), the story moves along quickly, and the characters and circumstances are believable (hey, I live with over 10 ferrets so I know what it's like, and Wallace hit the nail on the head). A great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST BOOK IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE, March 11, 2004
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Ferret in the Bedroom, Lizards in the Fridge (Minstrel Book) (Paperback)
There is no way to express my feelings about this book. It really changed my attitude about reading. I liked reading a lot; however it made me like reading even more.
I can really understand why this book is an award winning book. My favorite characters are Sally and Liz. I like how they are always covering for each other or right by each others side. There is nothing I would change about this book and I give all my thanks to the author, Thank You Bill.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book, May 23, 2001
A Kid's Review
This book was about a girl and her pets and she was trying to win to become class president. So she had to decide if she wanted to give up her friends or give up her pets. So she gave up her pets and then she was upset because she was lonely with out them. And this story takes place at her school and home. The main characters were Liz but everyone called her lizard Miss Wimberl, Sally, Mrs Jones Mr.Mcdonald, Shane, Lizs Mother, Farther, Jo Donna Hunt and lizs animals Fred and Bessie. I would recommend this book for kids my age and older because it was a terrfic book to read.
