Life is great for Chuck until his best cat friend,
Louie, gets hit by a car, then Tom, his other cat friend moves, then
finally his owner Katie goes to college. Chuck is a very lonely cat
that only wants a friend. One night he is up in a tree with two pretty
nasty poodles waiting for him at the bottom. If he climbs down he will
be lunch. Those poodles won’t move until he comes down, so Chuck is
stranded there for many nights with no food or water. He decides to
take a chance by
balancing on a fence with two other dogs on either
side of him. He is almost across when suddenly; he falls into the yard
of a humungous beast. He knew it will be the end of his life when the
big beast puts him in his mouth, but when he opens his eyes he isn’t
in cat heaven, he is in a water bowl! This can't be so! “Dogs don’t
rescue cats!” Chuck thinks, “They can’t be friends!” …or can they?
I really enjoyed reading this book. It is pretty
sad at some points and also happy too. I like that about it. I like
books about animals and this book’s plot was just that. So, if you
want to read this
book you have to like fictional books about
animals. If I had to rate this book on a scale from 1- 10, I would
rate it a 9 because of the thing I mentioned. I wouldn’t rate it a 10
because, well, I’ve
just read better books. There are 2 sequels to this
book that I know of and have read, so if you like this book you can
borrow one of the sequels that I have any time. Happy reading!
