Review by Janine Rowe
An enjoyable tale for any age.
From the first page, I knew I was
going to love this book. It is heartwarming and entertaining. The
story starts with Oliver telling a new kitten about the night he was separated
from his human George when the pub burned down and how he ended up being shared
between two families. Oliver comes to be known as a cat with magical
qualities with the things he does for the people in his little town.
Oliver’s main goal is to make sure everyone
has a good Christmas. While doing so, he helps a lot of people in
different ways from bringing families together, helping a little girl recover
from the loss of losing her cat and another little girl who has leukemia and no
friends to play with. He also helps the adults in his life by helping
them build better lives for themselves, and in one case, even find love.
You will also meet Oliver’s cat friends and learn all about them as well.
As you are reading this, you are
probably thinking this is a child’s book, but I assure you people of all ages
who love cats (or any animals) will enjoy this book. It is well written
and the story kept me turning the pages and not wanting it to end. Even
though it is a Christmas book, it’s a wonderful inspiring story for any time of
the year.
