Tai istorija apie bengalų veislės katytę "su defektu". Ji labai smalsi ir protinga katytė, kurią... pagrobia kačių vagis būtent dėl jos veislės.
Man patiko šita istorija, nes tai buvo lyg "vaikiškas detektyvas".

Milly the kidnapped kitten 🐈‍⬛ was a good book 📚

[Serendipity Reviews]

Reviewed by author, Liss Norton for Serendipity Reviews.

Best-selling author Holly Webb has built quite a reputation as the author of animal, and other, books. In this one, Tia loves her new Bengal kitten, Milly, to bits, and tries to keep her safe when she hears that there are cat thieves in the neighbourhood. But despite all of Tia's best efforts, Milly manages to get out of the house and disappears. At first, Tia's parents think she's simply wandered off and got lost, but eventually Tia manages to convince them that she's been kidnapped. They call the police but there's not much for them to go on, so it's up to Tia to find more information for them. She's willing to do anything at all to track down her lost pet, and Milly is equally determined to find her way home.

This is a heart-warming story about the close bond between a girl and her mischievous kitten. It's full of details about the fun and responsibilities of owning a pet which makes it perfect for animal lovers. The book is printed in fairly large type, with black-and-white line drawings every few pages. The chapters are just the right length for bedtime reading and the story moves along at a cracking pace, leaving the reader eager to find out what will happen next. A good read for animal-loving girls aged around five to eight.

Tia and Christy are super excited when their mom and dad finally say they can get a kitten. Tia would love a bengal kitten but her mom says they are too expensive and it would be better to adopt a homeless kitten. But then a bengal kitten with a bent tail is for sale and it doesn’t affect her at all. She won’t be expensive either. The family takes her home and Tia names her Milly. Milly is the most beautiful kitten she has ever seen and the cleverest too. But then she hears about local catnappers. And then Milly disappears, what if she has been stolen! I loved this tale a lot and will read it again. Definitely five stars

Bedtime story for my three kids.

My daughter came home excited to finally have access to Holly Webb books and wanted to read this together. It sparked off conversations about buying verses rescuing / adopting animals. We spoke about our cats and how they were rescued and their story.

My daughter will be bringing home more books from the series now for sure!

So this kitten is a Bengal kitten and her name is Milly. Edit: This was a really good book and I really like it.
