Jasmine is a well-loved house cat without a care in the world until a house fire destroys her owners' cottage. Unaware their pet survived the fire, her family returns home to Halifax, leaving the dazed and injured cat alone for the first time in her life
I read this book out loud for my 6 year old daughter and we loved it. The writing was beautiful and poetic at times, very catlike. The action was well paced and the characters were easy to get to know. We enjoyed the descriptions of nature and places as Jasmine made her journey. We also loved the theme of kindness towards animals from children that was ongoing in this book. The "house spirits" were a little spooky but manageable for my cautious daughter. It was so interesting to consider the world of cats in this way and overall I would recommend this book to anyone who needs a bite size animal adventure book!
