Rowena Batts has enough problems in her life without adopting a crazy cockatoo. She's just splattered two hundred grown-ups with jelly and custard, and her dad's getting married to her teacher. But Sticky the cockatoo turns out to be just the friend she needs . . . There are three books about Rowena Batts - an extraordinary articulate girl who doesn't let a fact like not being able to speak stand in her way. They are Blabber Mouth, Sticky Beak and Gift of the Gab (Puffin).
