Description
Fifth-grader Poppy McBean likes rules and order. She's a follower, and she's totally okay with that. And if you judge her for that, she's okay with that too! But after falling prey to her friends' bullying one too many times, Poppy makes a wish to be happy—and it comes true in a very unexpected way: She wakes up in the body of her cat, Mitten Man.
Mayhem ensues as Poppy-the-girl attempts to navigate the wilds of the wilderness as a cat . . . and her free-thinking, groundbreaking kitty has had it with his owner's timidity. He's out to put the purr in perfectionist and take over middle school—as Poppy.
Hilarious and unexpected, Don't Trust the Cat is a coming-of-age adventure that will keep readers cringing, cracking up, and reconsidering what it means to be a good person.

I think the idea of this plot could be very cute, but there were some parts of this story I did not like. The way the parents treated the cat did not sit well with me. I am not the target audience, but I found it sometimes hard to follow or engage with the story.
Melissa B, Reviewer
This is the story of what happens to Poppy, a 5th grader and her cat, Mitten Man magically and accidentally switch bodies. Lots of fun. I found the story to be very funny and heartwarming.

This was a cute freaky Friday story, but the switch happened with a cat. The beginning was slow, but it ended on a high not. Not really my taste, but I can recommend to patrons.

I read this one out loud to my kids at bedtime and they enjoyed it! My middle school aged daughter completely related to Poppy, and thought that the switching was hilarious. I was a bit horrified that poor Poppy had to stay out in the garage during her first night as a cat, but the kids enjoyed the overall hijinks. Middle school is not easy, but neither is being a cat!
Very cute read, recommend for animal lovers and especially those kids who wish they were cats!
