Description

A Waterstones Paperback of the Year!

What happens when you feel stressed? Maybe you start sweating, or your heart beats faster.

When Charlie McGuffin gets stressed, something a little bit different happens: he turns into an animal!

Unfortunately, things are getting quite stressful for Charlie:

– His dad s business is in real trouble
– He might have to move in with his Aunt Brenda and her seventeen cats (and wooden leg)
– And it s getting harder and harder to control his powers

Luckily, Charlie s best friends Flora, Wogan and Mohsen are on hand to help.

If they can break into the fortress-like offices of Van Der Gruyne Industries and recover the McGuffins stolen gold, maybe Charlie won t have to move away after all.

Can Charlie s friends help him master his powers once and for all, or will he end up stuck as a pigeon forever?
