Bookroo's summary
Lulu discovers a duck egg and decides to protect it by bringing it to school, bending the rules since it's not technically a pet. As she hides her secret, the question looms: what happens if the egg hatches? With the potential for chaos and discovery, Lulu must navigate the delicate balance between her good intentions and the school's strict rules. Will her plan succeed, or will it lead to unexpected trouble?
From the publisher
When Lulu finds a duck egg that has rolled out of its nest, she takes it to class to keep it safe. Lulu isn’t allowed to bring pets to school. But she’s not really breaking the rules because it’s just an egg. Surely nothing bad will happen…
