From the author who wrote the book Dog Lost, this story is similar in theme.  It will appeal to cat loving young people, as Dog Lost was enjoyed by kid’s who love dogs.  This story takes place in a rural community that has a problem of being over run by feral cats.  The community is divided about what to do with the problem.  One group wants to build a shelter for the animals, but the other group doesn’t want to spend the money and would rather solve the problem by paying someone to shoot them.  The main character of the story finds a young cat and hides her under the church while his father is advocating for the shooting of the animals.  He hides his secret as his father gives him a rifle for his birthday with the expectation that they can get rid of the cats.  This story progresses with themes of political divide, family expectations, honestly, and of course love for animals.  Well written and will appeal to young readers who love pets.
