Beautiful Story, Soothing Narration

This book was beautifully written and captivating. My name is Zoe and I too love cats and I love to read, so this book was perfect! I loved the narration, it was soothing and took away my stress for a short while. I completely recommend this book! I am thirteen, if that helps.

Any additional comments?

Zoe, who is eleven years old, has had a hard life already. She hasn’t grown up with a lot of motherly affection or concern, and she has had to deal with a number of her mother’s boyfriends stealing her mother’s attention over the years as well.

When Zoe’s mother dies, her Uncle Henry takes her in, but Zoe is not sure what she thinks about the arrangement. Having been left to her own devices all her life has made Zoe very independent and capable; she knows how to take care of herself, but she is not sure if she can ever bring herself to trust anyone else.

Adults in her life have not really panned out, is Uncle Henry up for the challenge of a wild thing like Zoe?

If you enjoy books with characters facing a challenging family situation, you might also like Waiting for Normal, by Leslie Connor, or Guitar Boy, by M.J. Auch.

What 11 yr old well read girl talks this way?

The narration was horrible. A well read 11 year old girl would not have the voice that the narrator gave her. The author spent way too much time on all of the unimportant characters and not enough time on the fun, intriguing ones like the cat, the boy in the woods and his deer. The narration of the cat was off as well. In the midst of talking as the cat it would switch to talking about the cat. Strange. I only listened to the entire thing because it was around 6 hours and I had nothing better to do on my drive.
