Reviews -- Rating: 5 hearts (out of 5) -- (www.heartlandreviews.com)
For: The
Cats of Storm Mountain by McKay Daines
"This is a wonderful adventure book, written with animal characters
like Jacques’ Red Wall series. Young Alley Cat is tired of being a
servant in the Mayor’s household. He’d much rather be out on his own, seeking
his fortune. He becomes mixed up in a blackmail scheme that targets the four
most powerful members of the town in
The author
has taken stories his father used to make up and finely crafted them into an
excellent book. This is a master craftsman of a writer who knows how to
leave the reader hanging at the end of every chapter. Young adults and
mid-grades will anxiously await the next book from his keyboard. His
illustrator brother is every bit as good producing superlative pencil and pen
drawings of the characters and their actions throughout the book. The book
cover is eye-catching, the back cover has exciting blurbs from accomplished
writers. We predict this may become a classic series and rate the book five
hearts."
