The Blue Cat by Ursula Dubosarsky
2.0
2.5 stars
I have never read a World War Two book set in Australia. There were two things I liked about this book. 1. The cat was a Russian blue and my old cat Smudge was a Russian blue and it made me happy thinking about him. 2. It made me think about what my nan would have lived through as a young girl in Australia during the war - she only sometimes mentions things, but this made me try to viscerally think about what it was like for her.
It was also pretty cool to read about Luna Park, a place that still exists and has much similar to its old self.
