The No Place Cat review

The No Place Cat is a recent book I just read and I very much liked/enjoyed it!

No Place Cat Book Review

The Book is about a cat following a 12-year-old girl, named Tess, who is having family problems. I think this is a good book to read because my family and I relate a lot to Tess and Tess's family, because when my little brother destroys something that I have worked on for a long time,my mom just says thet he is just a baby,and he doesn't know better.

The No Place Cat Book Review

This Book is about a girl named Tess who is having trouble with her dad and stepfamily. When a school project is wrecked by a family member and nobody cares Tess states that she can ni longer take and decides to live full-time with her mother. As Tess runs away she meets a black and striped cat who follows her her for the rest of her journey to the far away destinantion. I think others should read this book because it is very descriptive. I also think others should read this book because many people can relate to the characters such as the main character Tess. This is a great book and everyone should read it.

No Place Cat

Tess, a 12 yr. old girl, doesn't like to live with her dad. She has problems with Clare (her step mom) and her kids. One day, she brought home her Soc. Studies project (Tess's favorite subject)but Clare's kids wrecked it. Tess goes to live with her mom at her condo. Tess walks there and on the way she sees a cat that follows her to her mom's condo. Since Tess's mom doesn't like cats, Tess has to choose between living with her mom or keeping the cat. What will she choose? I would recommend this bok because it is very interesting. I mostly think it is for kids because it deals with a girl, a cat, and problems some of us kids face. You never know what'll happen next. Tess is a very clever girl. She'll have you guessing about what she will do next. C.S. Adler writes about incidents about real life. She is very creative in her writing and puts it in exciting parts that scare or excite you. In conclusion, I think kids of all ages should read this book because it is a realistic story by a very talented writer
