As another reviewer said, the Land of Miu is a charming adventure. The tone, characters, and voice of the narration evoked fond memories of C.S. Lewis and the lands of Narnia. I would say Cat's Eyes/The Land of Miu is geared toward a similar or slightly younger audience, though as an adult, I also enjoyed it. Very well written and cleanly edited, it is the fun, action-filled subterranean adventure of two young girls and their half-cat companions as they struggle to survive and save the crown of

I won this book through the Goodreads giveaways and set about reading it at once. Cat's Eyes was charming. The plot is comfortable and familiar without being worn to bits—Kate Dawson is twelve, misses her dead father, and is terribly unhappy with her stepfather and half-sister Emma.

I won this book from one of the Goodreads giveaways. I think this book is meant for a younger audience then myself, but I still enjoyed it and I know many younger kids who would have also enjoyed it. It definitely had the fun feel of a real adventure. It made me feel like I used to when I was kid and would rent books from the library and disappear into those worlds. I would have liked to find out more about the Miu people and who/what they are and the world they live in but other than that it wa

Thanks First Reads for win! 12 yr old Kate is tired of her half sister Emma, Emma always tells weird things like she can hear the kittens they found talking and she understands them. One morning Kate knows her sister is in trouble so she must find her. Where did she find her and is her little sister telling the truth about the kittens?
Really liked this book. It was different then my usual kind of reading, more of a YA book. But liked it all the same and will be looking for book two!
