A cautionary tale of brats, cats and a little bit of magic from much loved and best-selling author Malorie Blackman. Ellie is the rudest, most spoilt child her grandma has ever met and it's time that she learnt a lesson! So with a little bit of magic and some help from Jolly the cat, Grandma's going to make sure that Ellie changes her ways. Can Ellie work hard to prove that she can be good? Or is she destined to spend the rest of her days trapped in the body of a mean old cat? Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant or dyslexic readers aged 8+.

It was a fiction book. My favourite character was Grinbledon the mouse. Ellie went to her grandmother because her dad went on a business trip. She was very rude and her grandmother turned her into a cat until she learned her manners and found a ring. At the end Ellie found her ring and learn her manners. She turned back into a little girl. Ellie went and live with her grandmother and dad !

I liked it a little bit, especially when they found the ring. I liked Ellie because she was grandmas friend at the end. Yes I'd recommend it

My favourite part in the book was when Ellie (as the cat) was just in time to turn back into a girl. I didn’t like the part where Ellie dropped her food on the floor!

I like this book because Ellie was naughty so her granny turned her into a cat. She need to try and find her granny's wedding ring to brake the curse. I will recommend it to people who likes finding things.
