Booklist - 06/01/2025 Ness and Miller continue to explore the challenges of friendship and trust in this sequel to The Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody (2024). Monitor lizard Zeke is one of only three lizards at his recently integrated school, but neither being a hall monitor nor having recently defeated a supervillain is boosting his popularity. When his lizard friend Daniel shows up wearing a hat (a fashion normally reserved for the school’s bird clique), Zeke gets nervous. How will the other students treat Daniel, Zeke, and their fellow lizard friend Alicia? What does the new exchange student, a fish named Peggy, think of Daniel’s hat? Can the new guidance counselor be trusted? And who keeps firing a Death Ray of Death at Zeke’s house? Miller’s droll, expressive cartoons add to the wry atmosphere. Smart, funny, whimsical, and full of heart, this speaks directly to middle-grade readers’ concerns about fitting in, keeping friendships, and navigating the world’s unfairness despite well-meaning adults who haven’t a clue. - Copyright 2025 Booklist.
