The Cat Mummy
Jacqueline Wilson, Nick Sharratt
‘Nothing could ever replace Mabel. I wished I could hold her in my arms and tell her just how much she meant to me.’
Verity adores her cat Mabel, and is desperately sad when she dies. Remembering her recent school lessons about the Ancient Egyptians, Verity decides to mummify Mabel and keep her hidden.
Verity’s dad and grandparents can’t bear to talk about death, having lost Verity’s mum several years ago – but when they eventually discover what Verity has done, the whole family realises it’s time to talk.
A superb handling of bereavement in Jacqueline Wilson’s uniquely accessible and enjoyable style, for younger readers.

I didn't really like it

I liked Verity best. It's a story about a girl and her cat Mabel. It is a bit sad but a lovely story with a happy ending.

I didn't like this book at all. It is a horrible, disgusting book about a dead cat!

I loved this book because it was very funny. It tells you a few facts about the Egyptians and how they make them into Mummies. I would deffo it’ll recommend this because it is excellent to red and Awesome.
