A Pretty Good Book

I read this book manily because we HAD to pick out a book to read at school, and this looked pretty funny. And it was. Ginger, who is alergic to cats, ends up walking to school with her sisters bag because she forgot it, and she had snuck he cat in there. Then she meets a stray dog, asks it if its hungrey, and when it sees the cat, it starts licking its teeth and following her. So she runs to school. When she gets there, the assistant princable takes her sisters bag and opens it, and because hes mainly bald, the cat tears and scrates at his head. Thats when it all starts. Because the assistent principal doesnt like ginger, and when the prinncipal gets bitten by a dog in the dark, the assistant princpal becaumes principal. Then the real principal is too upset to go back to work, the assistant principal becomes the real one, and tries to have ginger moved from the school. In the end, she doesnt, and she finds homes for tons of stary dogs. Kind of long, a bit funny, and its a pretty good book, and I recomend it.
