Customer Reviews

Great writing with grand stories in this book.

I really liked this book. It has three tales of three people with weird stories. Tom has a boring life and he has to write a report on the most exciting thing that ever happened to him. He switches places with a cat. The cat writes the report and then some weird things happen. The other thing is that Tom wants to change back, but the cat likes being a human. Bebette, is an invisible princess and she has an old lady tell her that. Simon comes from a poor family and goes out. He kills birds to make money. Soon he kills the most important bird of them all and becomes a bird. This a great book for all ages and it has great things that happen to these wacko characters. It is a well written book.
