    <body><![CDATA[This is an excellent novel! It sparked my interest in World War II at a young age.<br/><br/>It tells the story of a lost cat traveling through England during the Blitz. Much like Jack London's White Fang, Westall's cat character behaves like an actual cat, and not like a humanized version of one. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6211771">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is geared towards middle schoolers and older.  However, it does have some rather graphic parts and does allude to one extra-marital encounter.  That aside, it does a decent job of telling a side of WW2 that is not often told--how the residents of Great Britain were impacted by the war.
