Mean girl Clare has always gotten her own way. At school and at home she can manipulate adults with her pretty smile and under-the-radar attitude. She meets her match in a new teacher, who calls her out and catches all Clare's misdeeds. Then one day: poof! Clare is dead and has come back as a cat at the Palestinian-Israeli border.
This book sounds weird, and it is, but in a wonderful way. As a cat, Clare understands all languages, the soldiers, children, residents and other animals. She needs help, but learns to also give it, and for the first time she cares.
