This farcical comedy begins when "an old lady in a pointed hat" climbs through Nicholas's bedroom window, waves her broom, and incants. The next morning, the boy finds himself in the body of his cat, Leonardo; Leonardo-in-Nicholas's-body has been dragged off to school. Kitamura's oddball sense of humor finds a perfect outlet here, and readers will find a fresh and lively diversion in this uncommon adventure.
