Publisher's summary

A boy and his cat. It's an unconventional friendship, perhaps, but for Charlie and Lily, it works beautifully.

It was Charlie who chose Lily from among all the cats in the shelter. He didn't frown, the way other humans did, when he saw her injured back leg, the legacy of a cruel previous owner. Instead, Charlie insisted on rescuing her. Now Lily wants to do the same for Charlie.

She's the only one who's seen the bruises on Charlie's body. If she knew who was hurting him, she'd scratch their eyes out. But she can't fix this by herself. Lily needs to get the rest of the family to focus on Charlie - not easy when they're wrapped up in their own problems.

Charlie's mother kicked his father out weeks ago and has a new boyfriend who seems charming, but is still a stranger. Oldest son Kevin misses his father desperately. Victoria, Charlie's sister, also has someone new in her life, and Lily is decidedly suspicious. Even Charlie's father, who Lily loves dearly, is behaving strangely.

Lily knows what it's like to feel helpless. But she also knows that you don't always have to be the biggest or the strongest to fight fiercely for the ones you love....

Unexpectedly Unpredictable

V
This book was hard to start&stay with initially,but the reading was very soothing, so for the first few chapters I let it play as I fell asleep,using timer.When I 'woke up'@a change in direction from what I'd expected,it rapidly became Very difficult to limit myself to an hour each night!Being told from the viewpoint of a cat was a very effective way to hear ALL sides of the characters,&I think made the book! I very much did not want it to end when it did. I'm hopeful to find another book with story told same way. If not for slow start I'd give book 5 stars,but because of slow for me to get into,I nearly gave up on reading it,&that would've been a great loss for me!!

Realistic Story About A Family's Struggles

I loved hearing this book from a cat's perspective. This book is well worth reading.
