Bookroo's summary

Rory starts a Reptile Club at his new school, hoping to find fellow enthusiasts. As he waits for students to join, he hears whispers and discovers surprising attendees: a crocodile, an anaconda, and a gecko. Will these unusual members help Rory's club thrive, or will they bring unexpected challenges? Dive into this whimsical tale of friendship and passion, where the unexpected is just the beginning.

From the publisher

There are lots of clubs for Rory to join at his new school, but none seem quite right for him. So when his parents suggest he start his own club about something he loves, Rory knows exactly what it will be: a Reptile Club! He’s positive that there are other kids out there who share his passion. He sets up his first meeting and then waits and waits for students to show up. Just as he is about to give up, Rory hears whispering in the hallway and hurries over to see who it is. To his astonishment, it’s not his schoolmates who have arrived to attend the first meeting, but a crocodile, an anaconda and a gecko!
