I really don’t think Ben Millers my person he always keeps the story quite plain and with a cool bit it constantly repeated .

This book was really fun... George is a very clever and shrewd little boy, and he knew straight away that something was off with Clive, the new husband of Lady Jane. He just couldn't have guessed what Clive was up to if he had not seen it with his own eyes with the rabbit and the budgie! What a mess though, when the same thing happened to him and Midnight the dog! It was fun though to read the thoughts of a dog who was in the body of a boy and vice versa. It was really funny reading their conversations together as well as they could understand each other. It was trouble when Clarence arrived and got worse when him and Clive swapped bodies as well. Their plan was to use the body swap magic to make loads of money, but George, Koko and Midnight worked together to put a stop to that!

I liked the twist at the end. I found it very interesting as it was a nice story about a boy who dreamt at first of having a dog.
