Rita's Revenge (#2 Little Dismal)
Author(s): Lian Tanner
Chasing cows and pigs. Mockery. Rude songs. Piracy, bullying, revenge, warfare and general thuggery. This is the list of approved duck activities and it does NOT include poetry. The ducks of Little Dismal are angry. A scruffy chicken called Clara has been telling lies about them. They need revenge. Enter Rita - a duck with the soul of a poet. After an embarrassing talent night, Rita sees revenge on Clara as a chance to restore her reputation. But Rita finds more than revenge on her mission. She uncovers a dastardly plan to chook-nap the clever chicken that will take them both a long way from home. Luckily, it's Rita's unlikely friendship with a small human and the help of some street-smart birds that just might save the day and inspire an epic poem! 'Jealousy, revenge, crime, adventure, duck poetry and laugh-out-loud comedy; Rita's Revenge has it all! I adore this book.' Katrina Nannestad, author of The Girl, the Dog and the Writer in Rome
Misha's Review - If you are looking for a book where a vindictive duck tries to get back into her family’s good graces by enacting revenge on a know-it-all chicken detective, then this is the book for you. While technically a continuation from “A Clue for Clara” (which you should also read), this book works well on its own and is both hilarious and heartfelt.
Product Information
The town of Little Dismal has more than its fair share of clever animals, which is why they are now in danger. Can Rita poet, outcast and duck solve the case of the chook-napped Clara? A quacking mystery story from the award-winning author of A Clue for Clara.
Rita’s revenge. Rita’s revenge is a good read and a bit of a funny read. It is about a duck who likes to write poetry and makes pretty good poems. She has a duck family who never change what they can or can’t do, and she goes to the city and meets ducks that do like change. Poetry is not on her duck families list and to prove she is not a poet, she tries to prove she is worthy to be in the flock by trying to take revenge on a chicken and meets a few friends on the way. I recommend this book to 8 to 12 year old’s and it is a good family book to read together.
