Review

Megan has moved to a new school and is determined to be popular this time. She has all kinds of plans but her first day there starts out with her getting caught between two groups of girls and one of them, mean girl Rhena, is out to get her. But Megan decides to change that by making a wish on a cat clock. Her wish come true, but at a cost, a cost that makes her more and more cat like with every wish. Megan has a tough time being caught up in the mean girl stuff going on at her new school. Sometimes it seemed a bit much and that teachers, her little sister and her crush weren’t aware of what was going on, even though it was quite obvious. The wishing on the clock was fun and the cat consequences (Megan begins to develop all kinds of cat traits) was a neat twist. Readers that like stories heavy on mean girl stuff and magic will enjoy this one.

Overall Book Score: good
