Antonio says:

This story is about a little girl named Wendy whose grandad has a pet snake called Slinky. Wendy gets called weepy and weedy at school because she doesn't like sports. The snake helps Wendy get over the bullying that she suffers at school. I found this book was easy to read and has a great story line. I could understand how Wendy was feeling and felt that I knew the characters in the book.
