This book is about cats being pets through history. The ancient Egyptians especially liked cats. The cover had a cute kitten

I didn’t like this book as much but I did like it.

Good beach read. Fast reading and full of drama.

Good.

It was little fun

I liked seeing if my favorite car would win the race.

It wasn't my cup of tea, but I'm not sure if I can quantify why--perhaps it's because I felt the romance was a bit all over the place; as a reader I was rooting for Tian Bai, partially because it felt like that was who Li lan wanted to be with for a majority of the novel. Intellectually, I recognized/knew that Er Lang made more sense for Li lan, but I had not yet fully switched to rooting for Er Lang before the novel ended. The writing also at times felt a bit distanced (emotionally) but that was a smaller concern for me.

I liked the book because it has a page that reads "zzzzz". I like that sound. The pictures are also really nice.

This book was both heartwarming and heartbreaking with a touch of humor. The book is about a kid’s mom, who gets deported one day while he’s at school. But just to add to the drama, he loses a friend, has to take care of his little siblings alone, and tries to be elected school president. It’s an amazing book, and I definitely recommend it to anyone who has ever felt alone.

This is my favorite book. Although it was originally written for children/tweens, I think will always be relevant to me no matter what age. The story follows protagonist Salamanca Tree Hiddle as she travels across state borders with her grandparents to visit her mother, all the while telling the extravagant tales of Phoebe Winterbottom and Ms. Cadaver. Not many books are as perfectly written as this one, but Creech does it once again, pulling at your heartstrings and making your spirit sing Salamanca's story.
