It’s all well and good grandma turning Ellie into a cat but grandma soon knows she has made a mistake in losing her temper; the switch bodies spell has a time limit - if Ellie doesn't find the ring in a day, she will stay a cat forever! Ellie doesn't take to her life as a cat but what she does find is Jolly isn't very well thought of by the other creatures in and around grandma’s house. Ellie the Cat is no ordinary novel about a cat, it’s about friendship and understanding and had a nice twist in the tale. What readers will notice with Malorie's new novel is how she has written from two different perspectives. Ellie is a child who has to move house every time her father does business around the world. The result of this constant upheaval is Ellie can’t make friends, isolating her and makes her sad, lonely and depressed. Her unhappiness instead of being obvious to adults is seen as bad behaviour and is considered a "brat " rather than seeing the real problem she has. So I got to see both sides of the problem when Ellie is sent to live with her grandma for a month.

Read the first chapter
In a dyslexia-friendly format, this is a magical and gently comic tale of friendship and thinking of others. When she’s turned into a cat, we get to see Ellie for who she really is behind the sadness of missing her dad, while she’s given the chance to make some unusual new friends and ultimately find a place to belong.
