Customer Reviews

Happy to find a childhood love!

I read this book in my 5th grade class when I was a little girl. It tells the story of a forlorn black cat looking for his owner who has gone to fight in the war. This book began my love affair with WWII and enthralled me so that I can't wait to read it with the children I teach.

Blitz Cat

This is one exrodinary book. This book combines the tragedy of WWII with the humor of several odd europeans. The cat is merely another character that joins together the basic outlines of True stories. Even if you aren't a cat lover or aircraft fanatic you can still enjoy the odd (and sometimes drunken) europeans. I am not usually such a book worm, but this book has turned me into such (only for this particular book though). Though I am in only jr. high this is by no means a kids book. It will most adults guessing at the constant flow of long past and forgotten terms and phrases. Yet this book does not include the graphic descriptions often related to wartime stories. The thing that most interested me was that all the stories were based around true ones. Sam

A MUST-READ FOR ALL!

The thrilling adventures of this courageous feline draw you in. You can't put the book down! Your heart will go out to Lord Gort as she faces challenge after challenge as she searches for her long lost master during World War II, and brings hope to those she meets along the way.
