A new, hilarious book from author Tom McLaughlin, creator of the highly-acclaimed The Accidental Prime Minister. Funny by Name. Funny by Nature.
Jasper Spam is mad about science, the problem is that all of his experiments tend to end in a BANG, until one day quite accidentally Jasper manages to invent something that will change the world forever . . .
One crazy experiment involving a shed, a mallet, and a poorly aimed laser beam results in Jasper’s cat Rover, becoming the world’s first talking cat. Finally an invention that works – the Cat Chat 2000! Soon people are handing over all of their cash to get a talking cat.
With his new found wealth Jasper can finally live the life he’s always dreamed of – buying a mansion, sports team, and producing a Hollywood blockbuster. But is there a huge price to pay for bringing talking cats to the world, and money won’t be able to solve the problem that the Cat Chat 2000 has caused.

I actually really liked Rover because he's the first talking cat in the world. The book interests me because Jasper was a courageous boy who liked to invent things. I would absolutely reccomend it to a friend

I thought that this book was awesome. I think that Jasper just wanted to impress his Nan and give her a nice life. All the other grandparents were retired so why shouldn't she be reitred? Poor, poor Nan! Precious was super evil though! She wanted to take over the whole world! I'm not surpirsed though. Even without the Cat Chat 2000 she really did act evil. If Jasper had done the Cat Chat 2000 properly then things might have turned out really well, actually. My faviroute charcter is Rover bexause he was so good to sacrifice himself. At least Precious went back to normal AND Nan, Jasper and Rover were rich again! Well, Rover did do that bet and now Gran talk cat...I reccomend this book to everyone as it is so awesome and amazing!

This book is a fiction book about a boy who made an invention that made cats talk! But it made all the cats evil and try and kill the humans so it was up to Jasper and his cat Rover to save the world.

The story is about a boy, named Jasper, who is poor. But when he shoots a laser under his cat's bottom, the cat starts to talk. After Jasper gets rich, many people want their cats to talk.
