To Be a Cat by Matt Haig
When Barney's feline fantasy comes true, the fur starts flying in this darkly hilarious and heartwarming tale. Cats have it made. They laze in sun patches, are showered with affection by loving humans, can cough up hairballs wherever they want, and never have to wonder why their dad disappeared one day and never came back. It's clearly much easier to be a cat than to be a middle school boy. So when Barney Willow wishes he could be a cat, and gets his wish, he should be thrilled. Except he's not. He discovers that not all cats are cute and cuddly, and some of them are downright evil. He discovers that his own mother can't see past the whiskers to recognize her darling son. Worst of all, he discovers that his life is in grave danger.and he doesn't have eight lives to spare.
Matt Haig is the author of two adult novels, The Dead Fathers Club and The Last Family in England. Reviewers have called his writing totally engrossing, touching, quirky and macabre, a comic tour de force, and so surprising and strange that it vaults into a realm all of its own. Samuel Blink and the Forbidden Forest is his first novel for young readers. He lives in the UK.
Matt has been visiting Norway to stay with his relatives since he was six years old, when he had his first taste of reindeer soup. He's now a vegetarian. When he was eleven he got lost in a forest because his dad took the wrong map. These days, he spends his spare time reading, horse riding, traveling to new places and writing silly poems. His favorite pixie word is mudfungle. Visit him at www.samuelblink.com.
