Billie has found the most adorable guinea pig in the pet shop. She is going to love it forever! If only she can convince her mum and dad...

"When best-selling Australian children''s author Sally Rippin discovered her child was struggling to read, she assumed it would sort itself out over time. She couldn''t have been more wrong. Her son''s dyslexia and ADHD went unsupported for years, leaving him behind his peers and labelled ''difficult'' by an education system that couldn''t easily cater to neurodivergent kids. By the time Sally learned how to advocate for him, it was - almost - too late. Told through the eyes of a parent who started out by doing everything wrong, Wild Things is about how we can help all kids find the joy in reading - and advocate for them throughout their schooling careers. After all, they say school isn''t for everyone, but if everyone must go to school - then why not?"--Publisher''s description.
