When your dad has been missing for two hundred and eleven days and you're the school bully's favorite target, being a cat seems like a pretty good life. But twelve-year-old Barney Willow's feline transformation has unexpected consequences. A dastardly villain, a humorous narrator, and occasional line drawings should keep readers' interest, especially those who love (or hate) cats.
