Editorial Reviews

Nothing is less predictable than the life of a stray cat. Take Nin, for instance. Drifting from home to home in search of food and ephemeral friendship, Nin happens upon a friendly meteorologist named Mark. From garbage cans and dumpsters, our footloose feline hero now graduates to the very summit of Mount Washington! A charming, eye-opening children's book by the author of Tying Down the Wind and Among the Clouds.
