Great anthropomorphic adventure!

The Claw and the Spiderweb tells the story of a despondent hero, the cat Sir Pontipaws of Meadow-Wood, and his fight against the vicious Lord Claw, a bear ruler who has become evil from power. After his friend Sir Adkins the owl is captured while traveling to Claw's kingdom, Pontipaws sets off to rescue him. With the help of a small spider, Webberly, a white owl named Lady Snowdrop, and a brave beaver, they manage to infiltrate the castle and rescue Adkins. But it is only with the help of the Great White Eagle, a legend no one thought was real, that they together are truely able to defeat Lord Claw. The novel is very well written and Reddix really has you worrying for her characters. Pontipaws, too, is an appealing protagionist, but unlike you would expect a hero to be, he has flaws, which also helps to make him believeable. If anthropomorphic fantasy is your thing, be sure to read this novel! ^_^
