The first thing I like about this book is that it’s interesting that a human and a dog can switch bodies because of a fountain! A second thing I like about the book is that it builds suspense when the children are figuring out if Clive is actually a criminal and stealing jewels or if they were wrong. And the last thing I like about the book is that it’s quite interesting about that there were many points in the book when Gabe was unsure if the child and midnight had actually switched bodies. Overall I think it’s a very good book so I definitely recommend!😊👍

Very interesting 🤩
