What is Alligator about?
Jono never planned to own an alligator. But when his friend Crusher offers him a hungry reptile from the boot of a car, Jono somehow becomes its new owner. There is just one enormous problem: Mum must not find out. Keeping a growing alligator hidden at home proves tricky, especially when it needs food, space and plenty of attention. As Jono’s secret gets harder to control, he and Crusher face a series of ridiculous and risky surprises.
