Live and Let Swim: My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish - by Mo O'Hara (Paperback)

About the Book

Frankie was a completely normal pet goldfish until Tom's evil-scientist big brother Mark tried to murder him with toxic gunge. Luckily Tom and his best friend Pradeep shocked Frankie back to life with a battery, and he's been their zombie-fishy friend ever since. On a trip to the aquarium, something fishy starts going on. Something that almost certainly involves evil older brothers, a vampire kitten, a psychic octopus and a plot to take over the world. In story two, TV show My Pet's Got Talent has come to town. But someone is stealing all the entrants' amazing abilities.

In Live and Let Swim, a normal trip to the aquarium for Tom, Pradeep, and Sami suddenly turns into a death-defying race to save Frankie from being eaten by a hungry psychic octopus during their big brothers' latest evil plan.

Then, when the TV show My Pet's Got Talent comes to town all the paranormal pets suddenly start losing their talents. Can Frankie save the day without his dangerous hypnotic powers?
