When a new baby joins the family, it's hard for his big sister to be excited. She's grossed out by smelly diapers. She misses riding bikes and hunting for frogs in the swamp with Mom. And, no matter how hard he tries, Dad just can't seem to get her braids right. Somehow, a pet iguana seems much more appealing than a baby brother! At least that's how it seems at first. . . The first-person narrative perfectly captures the voice of this irascible, yet loveable, heroine, while the comedic artwork further explores the nuances of a familiar family predicament.

Hilarious notes between a son and his mom show how kid logic can be very persuasive. Alex just has to convince his mom to let him have an iguana, so he puts his arguments in writing. He promises that she won't have to feed it or clean its cage or even see it if she doesn't want to. Of course Mom imagines life with a six-foot-long iguana eating them out of house and home. Alex's reassures her: It takes fifteen years for an iguana to get that big. I'll be married by then and probably living in my own house His mom's reply: How are you going to get a girl to marry you when you own a giant reptile? Kis will be in hysterics as the negotiations go back and forth through notes, and the lively, imaginative illustrations showing their polar opposite dreams of life with an iguana take the humor to even higher heights.

Los Angeles attorney and part-time pet-sitter Kendra Ballantyne has a lot more time to tend to animals now that she’s determined to stay out of the perfectly toned arms of super hunky investigator Jeff Hubbard. But all too soon, her time is tied up chasing a truly nasty pet-napper. Kendra’s nightmare starts when she makes an early stop at the home of an uber-wealthy film producer to check on his beloved pup and iguana—only to find them missing and a ransom note on the iguana’s cage. Through her Southern California pet-sitting club, she learns that other four-legged clients have been snatched, too. Then a fellow pet-sitter turns up bludgeoned to death. Kendra has her suspicions, but it soon appears she’s barking up the wrong tree. And it becomes clear that she’ll need nine lives to escape this cold-blooded killer who’s friend to neither man nor beast.
