My family and other animals by Marina Pardo

Gerry and his family decided to move to Corfu. There, Gerry with his brothers, Larry, Leslie and Margo, and his mum lived really good and funny experiences. The animals were his passion: he had animals like his dog Roger, two other baby dogs, Achilles the tortoise, Quasimodo the pigeon, Ulysses the owl, Alecko the seagull and some other animals like scorpions, snakes or warms. But one day his mum thought that he had to study. During the time they were in Corfu, Gerry had many teachers. One of them was in love with Margo, his sister, but their love was forbidden. Larry and Leslie were tired of finding animals anywhere at home like snakes in the bath or scorpions in the matchboxes. In Corfu, the Durrell´s family met many good people, but as all good things, were finished . So after many funny experiences the family had to say goodbye to all the people of Corfu.
