Why read it?

1 author picked The Many Selves Of Katherine North as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

She becomes a fox, bat, octopus, snake, and perhaps most weirdly, a spider. Each leap had unique joys and challenges. As a reader, I learnt to master tentacles, sonar, and web-spinning.
