The Secret School Invasion
Pamela Butchart, Thomas Flintham
The twelfth in a smash hit series of hilarious tales about primary school life from best-selling, award-winning creators! Packed with excellent black and white illustrations, this is the perfect longer read for newly confident readers. Nothing is quite as it seems for Izzy and her friends, and the drama is always off the scale! Izzy's school is being merged with St Bartholomew's Primary, their greatest rivals! What will happen when the new kids join, in their too-shiny shoes and with their too-loud singing? And what if they've got a secret mission and that mission is a BAD mission? Only Izzy and her friends can discover the truth, even if they must go SO DEEP UNDERCOVER that they might not come back... Have you read these brilliantly funny Izzy and friends adventures?

I really laughed at the way the headteachers were at first arguing over who would be head teacher when the 2 schools joined and then later were arguing over who could go to America instead! Great book and very funny!

I think this book is really good because it has loads of mysteries to solve and then it had a really good answer to all the problems and at the end it turned out to be a really good book so I give it five stars.

What would you do if you thought YOUR school was being taken over by strange, odd new kids? I know what I would do: exactly what Izzy and her friends did in this story! It's a brilliant book!

I liked Jodi the best because she is very adventurous. It interested me because there were mysterious things going on like the toilet flood or the fake black widow spiders and I would recommend it to confident readers that are interested in scary things. I would also recommend My headteacher is a vampire rat and the broken led of doom

I liked this book because they introduce us to some new characters in the series. They also had a fun chaotic sports day competition with their teachers.

So this is one of one of the books that’s a bit like a diary similar to diary, a wimpy kid but it isn’t that similar. There’s a boy called zash. A girl called Izzy another girl called Maisie and then a smart girl called Jodi and what happens is a new school joined their school and then there was supposed to be one happy school and this is what the blurb says Izzy and her friends are shocked when a whole load of new kids join their school they’ve got shiny shoes and small blazers and they sing really really loudly and weirdly but it’s when the New kids use a secret language and have secret symbols that they know……….. the new kids are here to take over the school everybody PANIC !!!!!!! ( and the black widow spider gets into their school and there’s flies in the lunch pies and there’s rats everywhere and Maisie Miller always faints and if you want to know more then you just gotta read it) (sorry)
