SuitabookJumblecat
Archie Kimpton
- Reading
- If animal peril might trouble your reader, consider checking in as you read. The comic tone is noted, but the ending is unclear.
- Themes
- Helping Jumblecat: Billy seeks a vet to un-jumble Jumblecat and tries to win the town pet show. The plot centres on efforts to help and protect the cat, but the specific treatment of these dangers is not clear.
- Family differences: Billy’s family is presented as unusual, with a cleaning-mad mother and a horrid twin sister; Jumblecat is said to change the family’s lives. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Jumblecat is stolen, and Billy must prevent him from being stuffed. These perilous plot points may be worth noting for a reader who is particularly sensitive to danger involving animals.
