Not Just for Children!

While recently vacationing on St. Simons Island, Georgia, I purchased Eight Paws to Georgia as a gift for a young child. I started reading a few pages and was totally captivated by Kiska and her story. Although I am a "dog person", Kiska's disarming personality and dignity pulled me into her life and that of her mistress until I had finished the book in one sitting. I laughed and cried during Kiska's story, finding that it has immense therapeutic value for those of us young and old who have lost a loved one. Also as an artist I was intrigued by Kiska's description of the beauty and individuality of the Georgia coast. Now I must buy Kiska's first two books and read about her perspective on life in Mexico and Canada!

Eight Paws to Geogia

This is a wonderfully warm story for young and old. Take one ordinary "runt of the litter" tabby cat, give her one extraordinary amount of love, and see what transforms. Kiska teaches us what that kind of love can do, if we give the animals that touch our lives the respect and adoration they deserve, right to the end. I can't wait to read this story to my grandchild and know that we have shared something very special.

Eight Paws to Georgia: Kiska's Final Journey

Pamela Bauer Mueller has a special gift in communicating the feelings and emotions of both humans and animals through the written word in a very unique and loving way. Together with the accompanying illustrations, which at times are humorous, the author guides her readers through the many adventures and challenges that Kiska and Jasper face as they move from the rainy and cool Pacific Northwest to the warmth and humidity of the "deep South", adjusting to new adventures and surroundings. Her insight in expressing the personal loss of a loving family pet through the words of her own beloved Kiska, make this little book a fitting tribute to the final saga of the Kiska Trilogy. It will be great reading for both children and adults
