The audiobook is really good! My 7yo and I have been listening to this together. Coincidentally, I just finished [b:The House in the Cerulean Sea|45047384|The House in the Cerulean Sea|T.J. Klune|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1569514209l/45047384._SY75_.jpg|62945242] so I saw a lot of similarities (to it and the OG mutant story X-Men). My daughter now thinks "wonky" is a slur, which is weird, but hey at least she gets what the book is trying to say. ( )

This was really cute.

Really cute

I will definitely read this to grand kids! It's, cute, clever and teaches embracing diversity, good friends and caring for yourself. ( )

The first book in this series, we are introduced right away to the main character, Nory. Nory and her family all have magic powers and Nory is preparing to take a test which will admit her to a special school. The school happens to be run by her strict and stern father. The only problem is that Nora’s magic always goes a bit upside down. Instead of just transforming into a cat, she continually transforms into a cat combined with another animal, which always results in disaster. Nory predictably fails the test and is not accepted into the school. Her family ships her off to live with her aunt where she has to learn a new school, new routine, and try to get her magic under control. Along the way, she makes new friends and learns unexpected lessons. This book is entertaining, moves quickly, and hooks readers right away. Nory is an endearing character and this series introduction was enjoyable and made me want to continue reading future books from the series!

I would recommend this as an audiobook! The narration is great, and the story works for younger kids as well as middle schoolers. ( )
