This is a lively pick for kids who love fast, silly adventures with just enough school-day drama to feel real. Katie’s constant switcheroos into people and animals make the story playful and unpredictable, while her cleverness keeps it grounded. It feels like the kind of book a child would race through, then grin about because the chaos is so much fun.
