Initially I dismissed this book in the box but as I sorted through the final twenty it really caught my eye.
This is probably meant to be an older children's book, and I didn't realise until I read the author's biography that he is the writter of The Poseidon Adventure.
I have taken the book review from http://www.paulgallico.info
This is the story of a young boy called Peter, who is knocked down by a car. To his considerable astonishment, when he recovers, he is not a young boy, but a cat! Fortunately, he meets Jennie, a cat who had been abandoned by her family when they moved away (hence the US title 'The Abandoned'), who educates him in the wiles of the feline world. ("When in doubt - wash!") The book is a chronicle of their adventures.

This wasn't a bad little book. A truly enchanting story told in an old-fashioned manner. I am sure there is someone else out there who will enjoy it too. So, I am putting it in my Children's book box.
Taken out of the Children's book box, mainly because I remember my mum reading Paul Gallico years ago. I thought I'd read it and then pass it on to her.
This is an absolutely wonderful book! I know it's aimed at children, but it's one of those books that speaks to grown ups too. I read it over two days (due to interruptions!) and would seriously recommend this to anyone who likes children, or cats, and especially to people who like both! I didn't want to put it down, I cried at least twice, and I'm going into town tomorrow to buy my own copy!
The glue is getting brittle and some of the pages fell out as I was reading it so I'm going to stick them back in and then lend it to my son.
