Cages- A Review

First of all I have to say that I find it interesting that some people thought this book was boring and some people loved it. I could see where the male population might stick up their nose to this or those who just aren't interested in dogs may find it dull as well, but personally, I found it captivating. This book was basically about a girl named Kit who is having a difficult time. Her stepdad gets drunk and her mom doesn't want to face the facts. A snobby rich girl gets the lead for the play and Kit is stuck making posters. So Kit's depression causes her to suddenly steal a bracelet from Pierre's (a jewelry store). She is caught and sentenced to work at the Humane Society for 20 hours. This experience causes her to take action and understand herself. I personally loved this book but I've always loved animals. P.s. I realized that if Ms. Fenton would have chosen Kit to be the lead none of this would have happened. One decision can make or break you. This situation "broke" Kit but worked out for the better. ;)

The Most Supenceful book if you love animals!

This book was outstanding! It is about this girl named kit who is kind of troubled because she just lost the lead in the school play and her stepdad is an alcoholic. Kit likes a gold braclet and steals it. Kit ends up having to work 20 hours in the Humane Society. I loved this book because it has something to do with a girl my age and animals.(I love animals) This story kept me on the edge of my seat and it will keep you on yours too! I couldnt put this book down.

This book shows a lot of feeling and presents a lot of things for discussion. Kit learns how to deal with some problems the hard way. She is in a world where a lot of things aren't fair and don't make very much sense. And when she goes to work with the dogs, things start making sense and she pieces her life back together.

Kit learned how to free herself from her "cage".

This story is about a girl named Kit who got caught shoplifting. This happened all because of her many problems at home and at school. Kit was sent to do community work at the Humane Society and she made friends with a dog named Lady. She decided to find a home for the dog but it was too late as the dog was soon put to sleep. From here, Kit learned that she had to free herself from her cage which required a lot of courage.

It was one of the best books I have ever read! Buy it!!!

It was really sad, but it shows you that when it comes to having problems you are no where near alone. Kit is a great charter! She may not be perfect, but she is much better that way!The old man in the book is so smart! At the end I was so glad to see Kit's mother have the look of pride in her eyes!!! Kit deserved it!
