To be a Cat
Matt Haig
Barney Willow thinks life couldn’t get any worse. He’s weedy, with sticky-out ears. Horrible Gavin Needle loves tormenting him – Barney has no idea why. And headteacher-from-hell Miss Whipmire seems determined to make every second of Barney’s existence a complete misery! Worst of all, Dad has been missing for almost a year, and there’s no sign of him ever coming home. Barney just wants to escape. To find another life…Being a cat, for example. A quiet, lazy cat. Things would be so much easier – right? Barney’s about to discover just how wrong he is. Because he’s about to wake up as a cat – and not just any cat. Gavin Needle’s cat…This is a fast, exciting story from the winner of the Gold Smarties Award, with illustrations from the brilliantly dark and mischievous Pete Williamson.

It was so nerve racking and it literally sucked you in and you zoomed out of the world and then you can zoom back in anytime and it was always always left on a cliff hanger....

It is a great book, funny and scary. Miss Whipmire is a really horrible woman/cat.She is selfish, harsh and skinny. Turning Barney into a cat, she tried dispose of him, by throwing him into a river. Fortunately, for him Barney is rescued by his best friends dad, but isn't recognized, since he is in the form of Miss Whipmire's son,who was born a cat. The story has some really funny characters in it, such as Florence and Gavin, when he wets himself. The book is really exciting and advetures, I would encourage everyone to read it!
