Taking the Cat's Way Home
Paul Howard
For whatever reason, William definitely makes a false start to life at his new school. For Jane it's bad enough that he's nasty about her beloved cat, Furlong, without his also turning classmates against her. This is an all too credible situation which increases the readability of this already very readable, clever and sensitive book. Finally, and thanks to long-furred Furlong, the established bully is outwitted which must give hope to many victims who are temporarily caught up in a similar time of torment. A significant book which can be read alone or shared aloud.
