Ellie and the Cat

Product Information

She goes to visit her Grandma on holiday but little does she know she is in for a surprise which will teach her to change her ways. It was such a pleasure to meet you both, and I really appreciated how smoothly and professionally you ran everything.

When she’s turned into a cat, we get to see Ellie for who she really is behind the sadness of missing her dad, while she’s given the chance to make some unusual new friends and ultimately find a place to belong. Inspired by traditional Middle Eastern tales, this captivating adventure is full of magic, mystery and danger. In a dyslexia-friendly format, this is a magical and gently comic tale of friendship and thinking of others. The result of this constant upheaval is Ellie can’t make friends, isolating her and makes her sad, lonely and depressed.ISBN: 9781781128244 Author: Blackman, Malorie Publisher: Barrington Stoke Publication Date: 15th January 2019 Imprint: Barrington Stoke Cover: Paperback Dewey: 823.

What readers will notice with Malorie's new novel is how she has written from two different perspectives. There are very few illustrations in this book which I didn't like but a varied range of vocabulary to boost the children's literacy development.Malorie Blackman, illustrated by Matt Robertson Ellie is not happy to be staying with her grandmother.

You guys are such a force for good and I am a passionate supporter of Indie booksellers, so I'm so happy this worked out well (I'd love to know how many books were sold if you have it to hand - it felt like quite a lot!
