This is a really easy read, I'd read the book when I was a few years younger and found it in my bookshelves last week and felt the urge to re-read it as I'd loved it the first time. 

The story is simple but at the same time beautiful. Mouse is a character you can't help but love despite his initial reckless behavior. His past is heartbreaking and yet he still manages to open up to someone after a bit of a confidence boost. 

Cat is the real troublemaker in this book. She's playing the biggest game of all and in the ends gets caught up in her lies because of her own insane idea. 

The writing is simple and sweet. We're reading from a 14 year old boy's perspective so the writing style is perfectly adapted. 

It's a lovely story with what seems for the first time in Mouse's life to be a happy ending. I enjoyed re-reading this book and re-living a story I loved as a pre-teen.

Mouse is doing his best to stay out of trouble. Cat is doing her best to land herself in it. They've both had it pretty tough so when they meet by chance they thank their lucky stars. Weird and wonderful things happen when they're together � but how long can it last? Because everyone has their secrets � and there can be only one winner in a game of cat and mouse. Can't there? Cathy Cassidy's hugely engaging writing has massive appeal for 8�13 year olds. Cathy's last book, Sundae Girl, spent six weeks in the Bookscan top ten.
