This book is quite emotional ,what with Dak’s dad being dead, turning into a clown Fish and without knowing it saved the aquarium as well. Violet certainly has mood swings ignoring Dak, being rude to him, warming up to him… getting annoyed over beetle obsessed dads… Dak is a great friend to say the least. He also gained lots of confidence over the duration of the story and is great encouragement to people who want to do similar acts to He also gained lots of confidence over the duration of the story and is great encouragement to people who want to do similar acts to Dak.

This was a very imaginative idea for a book. I loved the idea of a human coming back as another animal: a clownfish! There was sad parts that could bring tears to your eyes and this was an enjoyable book to read
