There's A Goldfish In My Living Room
About this ebook
Thirteen-year-old Joey thinks life is already tough enough. His mum makes him do all the chores around the house, his sisters drive him nuts and his FIFO working dad is never around long enough.
Then one afternoon after falling asleep watching TV, Joey wakes up to find his living room completely flooded… and a giant talking goldfish splashing around like he owns the place.
The worst part? Joey knows exactly who he is—Louis the goldfish, straight out of his little sister’s storybook.
Louis is bossy, chaotic, and invisible to everyone else. Well, almost everyone. Turns out Sienna, the girl next door, can see him too—and unlike Joey, thinks Louis is the best thing ever.
Now Joey must figure out how to get rid of a magical goldfish who’s determined to turn his life upside down. But Louis has plans of his own… and nothing is going Joey’s way.

About the author
Frances Dall’Alba lives in beautiful far north Queensland, Australia, and was once an inquisitive thirteen-year-old who lived on a dairy farm. It rained a lot where she lived and as a kid, she loved nothing more than splashing in all the puddles with her gumboots on as she walked the road between her house and the dairy. Apart from lots of cows, Frances will admit there were days when snakes, spiders, cane toads and myna birds intruded on her everyday life.
Luckily, she was surrounded by beautiful lakes, impressive mountains, creeks, rainforest, sunsets, and lots of beautiful animals to keep her happy.
There's a little bit of Joey in all of us—curious, determined, stubborn, and just trying to figure things out. Add in a few giant animals and life can quickly spin out of control. Still, you have to admit, the creatures causing chaos in Joey’s world are undeniably cute... even if he doesn’t quite see it that way.
So, keep in touch with Frances because there might be more Joey books coming.
