Tree of Cats
Category: Fiction, General
The thrilling and heartwarming story of a little black cat who cooperates with a human girl and with other cats to rescue her kitten from an evil mad scientist. Set in New York City's West Village, this novel is one part mystery, one part fantasy, one part coming of age. Alternating between the point of view of its feline heroine Minna and its human heroine Ava, TREE OF CATS delightfully imagines the secret life of cats, which includes an ancient information-sharing network called the Catalogue. Suitable for young adult and grown-up readers, this is the last work award-winning novelist Ellis Avery completed before her tragic death from cancer at age 46.
