Nosy Crow My Teacher is a Diamond Thief!.

Rate this book
The fifteenth in a smash hit series of hilarious tales about primary school life from best-selling, award-winning creators! Packed with excellent black and white illustrations, this is the perfect longer read for newly confident readers.



Nothing is quite as it seems for Izzy and her friends, and the drama is always off the scale!



When Izzy and friends get a new teacher, they are immediately suspicious. Why does she have two computers set up on her desk? Why does she speak Spanish when they're supposed to be doing maths? Why does she have a pink wig and sunglasses in her car?


And WHY DOES SHE HAVE A DRAWER FULL OF DIAMONDS? Because she's an international jewel thief, of course, and MUST BE STOPPED!



Have you read these brilliantly funny Izzy and friends adventures?

Praise for Izzy and



"Butchart has enviable comic timing and a shrewd understanding of how primary-aged children think, speak and speculate. Punchy short chapters, genuinely laugh-out-loud humour and Flintham's zany pictures make the series an absolute must." – The Bookseller



"Good jokes and lots of fun, and especially good for reluctant readers." – Sunday Times

About the author

Pamela Butchart

84 books115 followers
As a child, Pamela was lucky enough to grow up in a house full of pets and go to a primary school where lots of spooky and weird things happened (well, in her imagination at least). As a student, Pamela’s student jobs included: fishwife, teaching basketball in America, phlebotomist and Artist Liaison for a (really bad) Abba tribute band. Now, when she’s not writing or going out and about meeting readers, Pamela teaches philosophy to teenagers.

Her top selling stories include The Spy Who Loved School Dinners which won the Blue Peter Best Story Award and My Head Teacher is a Vampire Rat which won The Children’s Book Award. Two of her books, Petunia Peri and There’s a Werewolf in My Tent, were shortlisted for the Lollies – the Laugh Out Loud Awards.

Pamela lives in Dundee with her baby boy and their two awesome cats, Bear & Carlos. If she wasn’t working as a writer and a teacher she’d like to open a luxury hotel for stray cats.

It was really good and funny it was very confusing that miss Ismail was not a diamond thief and that she was a acrobatic and a fire eater
