Quick Summary
R.L. Stine serves up a chilling premise in "Cry of the Cat" when a harmless bike ride leaves a girl slowly turning into the very creature she accidentally hurt. Kids will devour the escalating horror of watching Alison fight against her own transformation, with each scratch pulling her deeper into a cat-like world of heightened senses and primal instincts that will leave them squirming in their seats. If your kid loves the spine-tingling suspense of Goosebumps or the creepy factor of "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon" by Stephen King, this pulse-pounding tale hits the same nerve. Perfect for kids in grades 4-6 who enjoy stories that make them look over their shoulders.
