Charlie McGuffin has an incredible secret . . . He can change into animals. All sorts of animals: a flea, a pigeon, even a rhino. Trouble is, he can't decide when - it only happens when he gets worried. And right now, Charlie has quite a lot to worry about: · His brother (who is in hospital) · His parents (who are panicking about it) · And the school bully (who has Charlie in his sights) And even though every kid wants a superhero power, Charlie isn't keen on changing into a chicken in the middle of the school play. So with the help of his three best friends, Charlie needs to find a way of dealing with his crazy new power - and fast! The first book in a hilarious new series for fans of Roald Dahl and David Walliams! Shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize! Longlisted for the Brandford Boase Award! Longlisted for the Blue Peter Award! The Guardian and The Telegraph's Children's Book of the Year! _______ Praise for Charlie Changes into a Chicken: 'Belly-busting hilarity' The Guardian 'The modern masterpiece . . . this savvy, comic tale ticks every box' The Daily Telegraph 'The best kind of silly' The Observer 'Full of heart and humour, wit and wisdom, and rivers of rhino poo' Sophie Anderson, author of The House with Chicken Legs 'Wonderfully heart-warming and absolutely hilarious' Catherine Doyle, author of The Storm Keeper's Island

I liked the story and the book is definitely funny, but I didn't enjoy the part when he has to run off the stage because he's turning into a flee.

I personally don’t like Dylan because I get it he’s a bully and he’s jealous he can’t change but why does he have to be mean about it like just support Charlie and then you know become friends and you’ll probably forget about it.

I thought it was a funny, smelly story about a boy called Charles Mc guffin who can change into animals. Charlie changes into a spider , pigion , snake , flea and a monkey it's a 4 rate because of a lack of chickens. I liked Charlie the best Yes it said on the cove belly busting hilarity
