Pia and best friend Hari are spending the day at a community fair with the Pet Club gang, until Iggy the Iguana, star of the Amazing Animal Roadshow, mysteriously vanishes. With the show about to start, Pia and her friends must use their pet know-how and teamwork to track him down before disaster strikes.

About the Book:
Pia's Pet Club: Iguana Escape is a warm, funny adventure built for the Official World Book Day 2026 £1 book range, giving newly confident readers a complete story in a short, accessible format. Meet Pia, a girl who adores animals but isn't allowed a pet of her own, so she has set up her own Pet Club with her friends instead. When the community fair rolls into town, Pia and Hari can't wait to see the Amazing Animal Roadshow and its star, Iggy the Iguana. Just before Iggy is due on stage, he disappears, and it falls to the Pet Club to solve the mystery before the show is ruined. As the friends dash between fairground stalls hunting for clues, the story balances a brisk pace with warmth, humour and gentle lessons about friendship. Short chapters and lively illustrations support fluency and confidence, while the mystery keeps children guessing until Iggy is found, a perfect introduction to the wider Pia's Pet Club series.
