Reach for this book when your child is struggling with social dynamics or feels like they are losing themselves just to fit in with a friend group. It is an ideal choice for the perfectionist child who is afraid to make waves or the student who has become a target of subtle peer exclusion. Poppy is a fifth grader who prefers to follow the rules until a magical body swap with her cat, Mitten Man, forces her to see her life from a different perspective. While Mitten Man (in Poppy's body) brings a bold and unapologetic cat attitude to middle school, Poppy (in the cat's body) must navigate the physical world with new vulnerability. This story tackles bullying, self-advocacy, and the importance of healthy boundaries in friendships. It is perfect for children aged 8 to 12 who are entering the complex social waters of upper elementary or middle school.
