This book is magical… Children’s minds are far more imaginative than those of adults, yet there are a few wonderful authors, such as Matt, who can still tap into their magical child-like imagination. A real storyteller! Despite some of the serious issues in the book, Matt Haig still manages to make it a fun and light-hearted read. I love the way the author, Matt Haig, talks the reader through the book. To Be A Cat has a nice blend of thrill and humour, and it certainly makes you think of cats in a whole new light! (I shall be keeping a closer eye on my two from now on!). It’s exciting and imaginative read for kids around ages 10-13 years old. To be a cat would be so much easier, wouldn’t it? Only when Barney wakes up and discovers he’s turned into a cat, life is about to get a whole lot worse! Mrs Whipmire seems to be determined to make Barney’s life a complete misery. He’s being bullied by the horrible Gavin Needle and has the headteacher from hell. His parents have divorced and his Dad has gone missing. Twelve year old Barney Willow has had enough. I love cats and always thought they had pretty easy lives… You know, sleeping all day, curling up in front of roasting fire, being waited on by their human slaves and plenty of loving. When To Be A Cat arrived from the publishers I knew it would be one I’d enjoy.
