Ellie and the Cat

Author: Malorie BlackmanIllustrator: Matt Robertson

When Ellie’s bad behaviour becomes intolerable, Grandma casts a Freaky Friday-esque spell that teaches her about kindness and teamwork, leading to some rather unconventional friendships. Written by former UK children’s laureate Malorie Blackman, this gently humorous, dyslexia-friendly chapter book is formatted with a wider-spaced font and tinted pages.
