Their house is full of pets. What the house is NOT full of is stuff Malcolm likes.

And yet there he is, on the bus, heading to... oh no. A farm.Over the next days, Malcolm changes. He learns a lot about animals. More, in many ways, than he would like. He learns what it's really like to be an animal. A whole series of animals, in fact...It does make him think differently. And speak differently. And eat differently. And, um, smell differently. But will he end up the same as before?Because sometimes the hardest thing to become is... yourself.
