A darkly funny and adventurous tale from multi-award-winning and million-copy-bestselling author, Matt Haig.

'A clawed masterpiece' - Guardian

'A writer of great talent' - New York Times

Barney Willow's life couldn't get any worse. Horrible Gavin Needle loves tormenting him. Evil headteacher Miss Whipmire seems determined to make his existence a complete misery. Worst of all, Dad has been missing for almost a year - and there's no sign of him ever coming home.

Barney just wants to escape. To find another life. To be a cat, for example. A quiet, lazy, carefree cat. Things would be so much easier - wouldn't they . . . ?

'Darkly comic and richly rewarding' - Telegraph

From the bestselling author of A Boy Called Christmas, The Girl Who Saved Christmas, Father Christmas and Me and The Truth Pixie.
