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.

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!

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.

I liked it because it was about cats and cats are my favourite animals. It was good because it was about history as well.
