I would love to see this book turned into a movie.

Notes for book talk: Cute fantasy. Ali's dad is a shapeshifting copycat. She has moved many times so doesn't have any permanent friends. Her family has moved in with her grandmother, and this time they might stay. She has a set of rules to help her make friends and adapt at new schools. She finds out she is also a shape shifter. This is the first time she has been around extended family and meets her cousin. The two branches of the family are estranged because of an incident with her father and uncle where the uncle died.

This book was a little difficult to get into. I didn’t really like the story and found Ali to be whiny. I really got into the book in the last twenty pages, which is not when a 417 page should be getting good. The writing was weak and there were several things I questioned (like using the term copycats just did not seem to be a good fit). If it had been a stronger book it could have definitely been bumped up a star or two.
