In this whimsical, original folktale, written and illustrated throughout in vibrant full color by two celebrated masters of modern fantasy, a young girl's journey becomes an enchanting coming-of-age story about magic, friendship, and the courage to shape one's own destiny.

Lillian Kindred spends her days exploring the Tanglewood Forest, a magical, rolling wilderness that she imagines to be full of fairies. The trouble is, Lillian has never seen a wisp of magic in her hills--until the day the cats of the forest save her life by transforming her into a kitten. Now she must set out on a perilous adventure that will lead her through untamed lands of fabled creates--from Old Mother Possum to the fearsome Bear People--to find a way to make things right.

I really like this book and I think any cat fan would. ( I am not actually a cat fan and I still loved this book so I guess anyone could love it, cat fan or not) .)It is about a girl who gets bitten by a snake and get s turned in to a cat. It is actually very exciting because more happens then what I said. ( what I wrote if you want to get technical)

i think this i s a good book that deserves a 5 star rating. it has lots of action in it

This was a really good book and I hope you guys read it too. It's about a girl called Lillian who lives with her aunt. She gets bit by an snake, and then turned into a cat! She meets a fox and asks an animal (literally) witch who turns her into a girl again, but then her aunt gets bitten by the same snake and Lillian becomes a cat again to fix the problem. I love this story sooo much!

I am reading it right now and it is the best but the pictures are kind of creepy but it is a rich tale about a girl who acts like a cat and gets turned into one so the detail is amazing and the book its self is way to easy for me but still awesome
