From the author of Evangeline of the Bayou comes a classic middle grade animal-fantasy adventure about a black cat who must go on a magical journey to be reunited with her beloved owner. For fans of Katherine Applegate, Rosanne Parry, and listeners of the Familiars series.

Nimbus had a rough start as a kitten. But her fortunes changed the day she met Fletcher. The boy nursed her back to health from a life-threatening injury and adopted her.

But when Fletcher’s aunt brings home a mysterious jar, an ancient nightmare demon is unwittingly unleashed. Despite battling the monster to save her friend, Fletcher’s superstitious aunt blames Nim for the attack and secretly abandons her at a dump.

There, Nim is befriended by a theater-loving rat and taken in by a kindly witch named Agatha and her motley crew of cats. Nim soon discovers that her battle with the demon left her with special powers—but more than that, she begins to suspect that she has always been destined for something extraordinary.

To return to her beloved Fletcher, Nim will need to harness her magical powers and enlist the help of her new friends. Along the way, she will discover she may be braver and luckier than she ever imagined.

The characters are all so cute and the story is perfectly planned! Overall very well written. The narrator is also very good. I only with there were more books after this, but I enjoyed the book nonetheless!

Amazing storyline!

Such a beautiful, vivid and magical story about the connections we share with our pets...as well as the love, lengths and even cruelty people can show back to even the purest of companions.

The whole book was lovely and I look forward to hearing it again. as another reviewer said, I wish there was a sequel.

Evil Aunt Caroline doing what she thinks is best for "the boy". Each of the cats we meet has something to teach Nimbus and when I re-read the book I think I'll write them down. They're as relevant in my 70s as they would have been in Jr High (what we had before middle school).

Highly recommend for any age except that puffed up age we all go through, or went through, where we're too grown up for some things and know everything anyway!

no one thing can stand out as best
