How I Became a Dog Called Midnight: A magical adventure from the bestselling author of The Day I Fell Into a Fairytale

Product Information

This story is funny, thrilling, clever and easy to read. It also has a great twist at the ending that I never saw coming. If you've ever wondered what it is like to be a dog, this is the book for you. Smells, scratches, and dog etiquette are just a few of the things you will learn about from a dog's point of view. Gogmagog is an ancient carp that has lived in the lake forever. He hides to keep away from his enemy – the dog. Then it goes into present day where he and his dad are looking after Lady Jane's and Koko's house, Hill House, whiles they are away as George's dad is the estate manager.

The mix up happens when a boy called George and Clive’s dog Midnight had their minds swapped. I enjoyed it for its subtle and possibly unintentional humour, such as the time where George, in Midnight’s body, escaped the pound by sitting on one end of a seesaw while the other dogs sat on the other, throwing him over the fence. I recommend this book for most normal people under ten because it’s a fantasy book. George is investigating his friends new step dad, there is something not quite right about the magician, but in the process he accidentally switches soul's with his dog.I like how this book opened cheerfully but it suddenly turns to being sad after George gets a puppy but had to return it after his mum died. Everything goes wrong! Will Clive achieve his master plan? He is keen to make millions, at the expense of Coco and Lady Jane. How can George help from inside the body of a dog? Reviewed as a family. We loved it. Perfect adventure story for our 8 and 6 year old. Some excellent twists and surprises, especially on the second half of the story. We can't wait to read more by Ben Miller.
