The main character, Verity, has a cat, Mable. They love each other very much. I like the way Verity takes care of Mable and one day I will like to have a cat and take care of it too

This book was a bit sad, but it was about a girl who lost her cat. She tried to make her a cat mummy to preserve her body, so she doesn't have to stay underground, but it has a bittersweet ending

Verity's cat mabel has died and Verity preserved mabel like the ancient Egyptians. I would give this book to kendal because she loves cats.

I love Jacqueline Wilson books. They are sad but they help kids understand things better. In this book a girls cat died and she tried to mummify him! It’s perfect for those experienced a pet dying.

It was a goos book but i would change the part when she scream sat her cat because it is very sad and her cat dies after that.i like the cat because she is very fluffy and nice.I would recommend it because ow we will learn to like our pets more.

I didn't really like it when the cat died but at the end it was really nice because she got a new kitten. My favourite character was Verity because she's really kind. I would recommend this book!
Fairy Angora Mittens 18.09.2021
This was quite a sad story because the cat died and it was Verity's only pet and she loved her cat so much. I would definitely recommend it though. My favourite character is Verity because she is kind and has lots of friends.

I didn't like this book much. It gave me the creeps when Verity found her cat, Mabel, dead. The author described every part: that Mabel was starting to feel weird and smell bad and that she was stiff. I t horrified me when Verity mummified Mabel because I knew how it was going to end. I would not recommend this book.
