具体描述

内容简介

Desi is a witch. And she knows she could be a great witch--if only her mom would teach her any spells. Unfortunately, Desi's mom is more concerned with keeping them safe and their abilities hidden.

When her mom leaves town under mysterious circumstances, it should be Desi's perfect opportunity to explore magic on her own. But Desi has been left in the care of the most unusual babysitter of all time: her pet cat--also her mom's familiar--now transformed into a teenage girl named Cat. And Cat has only three goals: Learn how to eat sushi with her new hairless monkey paws, get the awkward boy next door to pay for her sushi, and keep Desi out of trouble. And that means no magic.
Yeah, right!

This hilarious and high-spirited fantasy is perfect for cat lovers, embattled siblings, and anyone who yearns to find the magic in everyday life.

精彩书评

"Desdemona (Desi), her mother, her cat, and her faux father figure (also known as a golem), have just moved . . . again. Trying to get used to her new surroundings, she meets her neighbor, Jarrett, who lives a normal life, as a normal human, with his normal older brother, mother, and father. Desi is not normal or typical. She is a witch, as is her mother, and her cat speaks to her in her mind. Being a witch is exciting and intriguing as well as frustrating. There are so many secrets to keep. No one must know about her family's background. There is fear and concern that the Mundanes, such as Jarrett, will turn against the witches out of confusion and misunderstanding. An example of magical realism, this novel deals with the contradictions Desi faces when her mother leaves suddenly and she is left at home with her faux father. Her cat is changed into human form as her guardian. She is torn between being a sheltered, obedient daughter and an independent, young woman who needs to find her mother. Where has her mother gone? Who is her father? How long will her kitty remain in human form? Can she trust Jarrett with her secret? She has no one to whom she can turn until she meets a sleek, smooth, magician who wants to help her—but are his intentions good and why does his pet monkey stare so intently at Desi? Girls will love this book about a girl caught between youth and adolescence, in a world of reality and magic. A school library will have a difficult time keeping this book on the shelves."
