The Cats of Roxville Station by Jean Craighead George

5.0

Kitties! Seriously though - this is a great chapter book particularly for kids who love reading about animals. The environment (a run-down suburb that's being more and more industrialized) and the human characters (including a foster kid who's learning how to get along with his sometimes distant foster mother and a lonely cat-person) are unique and well-drawn. But at the heart of the book is the cats themselves, and George is never condescending in her depiction of the lives of feral cats giving kids (and adults) an appreciation of the solitary lifestyle of cats, and the dangers that face feral cats.
