Switcher    by Diane Mayer Christiansen

Samantha Schmealy is no one special, really. In thirteen years, she has lived a quiet life with her parents on their family farm. Nothing out of the ordinary has ever happened to her, unless you count the strange goings-on at a neighbor's house a mile away.  She has friends and enjoys school, but likes summer vacation even better. Yes, everything is quite normal for Sam...that is, until her parents find out about her ability to transform or switch into a sleek, black cat. There is only one thing to be done. Sam must be sent away for readjustment. Follow her journey through fear and anger to discovery and self acceptance as Sam and her new friends unravel the secrets of St. Levitius. You might even say that being different is just fine...in fact it's downright amazing!
