Rowena Batts has enough problems in her life without adopting a crazy cockatoo. She's just splattered two hundred grown-ups with jelly and custard, and her dad's getting married to her teacher. But Sticky the cockatoo turns out to be just the friend she needs...

There are three books about Rowena Batts-an extraordinary articulate girl who doesn't let a fact like not being able to speak stand in her way. They are Blabber Mouth, Sticky Beak and Gift of the Gab (Puffin).
