Zoe named the kitten Pipsqueak, because she was so tiny, and promised to always take care of her. Then the kitten grew. And grew. Now she's bigger than a horse -- and talking as well! Fleeing into the woods to escape the curious eyes of the internet, Zoe and her best friend, Harrison, must keep the giant cat hidden as they desperately search for a way to return her to normal size. If they don't succeed, Pipsqueak may never be safe again. But why did she grow so large in the first place? And what if trying to change her back leads to even greater danger?

I loved this story for Junior Readers! I mean, who wouldn't want to be magical, attract magical creatures that talk and embark on a journey to save them! A strong sense of wonder permeates this story. The plot moves along nicely and the supporting characters help drive the story. I especially enjoyed seeing the family dynamics so well represented. Themes of acceptance for who you are, how all change isn't bad, growing up and learning to let go. An enchanting story for anyone who loves animals.
