The Battle of Bubble and Squeak

by Philippa Pearce

Sid, Peggy, and Amy couldn’t love their gerbils, Bubble and Squeak, more—but their mother feels exactly the opposite. When tempers flare and a family feud erupts, it’s clear that things in the Sparrow household are about to change.

But after a close call involving Bubble and the family cat, even Mrs Sparrow starts to realise that having a couple of cheeky gerbils around might not be such a disaster after all.
