Bookroo's summary

Katie, a vegetarian, faces a scaly dilemma when a magic wind transforms her into Slinky, the class snake. As she slithers through her new reality, Katie must navigate the challenges of life as a reptile. Can she reconcile her beliefs with the instincts of a snake, or will she discover a new perspective on survival? Join Katie on this unexpected journey and find out what it truly means to walk—or slither—in someone else's skin.

From the publisher

Class 4A is studying reptiles, which makes class pet Slinky the snake a minor celebrity. The whole class collects worms from the field to feed to Slinky as a treat, but Katie refuses–she’s a vegetarian! Then when the magic wind appears, Katie learns what it’s like to be in someone else’s skin–scaly snake skin to be exact!
