This review is from: Zack Files 07: Never Trust a Cat Who Wears Earrings (Paperback)

My daughter read this book for a oral school book report. She really liked it because she thought it was funny that Zack started to turn into a cat. After giving her report several others in her class also read the book and thought it was funny too.

Zack Files:Never Trust A Cat Who Wears Earrings is about a kid named Zack who lives with his dad in their apartment. One day at school he walked in to a room with a lady worshiping a cat. So he walked over to the cat and it scratched him. Soon Zack started acting like a cat and has a big problem to solve, how was he going to get back to a normal kid.
My opinion of this book is that it is a great one. I read it three times in one week, and I recomend it to everyone.

This was my son's first "Zack Files" book. We loved it and read it all in one night. It kept the interest of my 7 1/2 year old and we both had some laughs.
