Charlie has a secret. He can change into animals. This hilarious story follows Charlie - with the help of his friends - to figure out why he is changing and how to stop it. Friendship and family are themes running through the story as Charlie navigates a bully and sick brother. The narration speaks directly to the reader and the vocabulary may stretch some lower key stage two readers. Sarah Horne's fantastic illustrations bring the text further to life, adding to the story. Children of all ages will enjoy this story. Fun scenes in the school and Charlie's bedroom (and a lot of toilet humour) make this an excellent choice for reading out loud. Even more excitingly, the rights to the film have been sold. Sure to be a comedy hit! 288 pages / Ages 7+ / Reviewed by Bryony Davies, teacher.
