Thompson, Kate Origins, 313 p. Bloomsbury - Language: G, Sexual Content: G, Violence: G -

Nessa is a cat that has been exiled to protect her from the war with the neighboring dogs. When she meets up with another exile, a dog named Farral, they set off to uncover the truth about the origins of dogs and cats. Meanwhile, a boy living in a secret community keeps a journal on how these secret genetic engineers may have found the missing link they were looking for.

This book was amazing. When I read the first one I was hooked on the series, and the ending to the series was breathtaking. Although I was lost when I first started the book, as the story started to fill out I couldn't put it down.

This was a freaky book I liked it well enough though . I wish I had known it was in a series so I could have read the other ones first , it would have made more sense then . I think only certain people will like this though , it's one of those kind of books . Either you're really into it and the story , or you can't even get through it . I find very intresting books at the library , lol .

I read this when I was pretty young so I don't know what it would be like to an older reader. I absolutely loved it at the time though and I would definitely recommend it.
