The Cats and the Crystal

by Daniel Steven Kahan, Miranda Mundt (Illustrator)

Tag, Licorice, and Johnny begin their young lives as normal housecats, but it isn’t long before they discover that they can manipulate objects with great ease and think in more complex ways than ordinary animals. Before they know it, they are living on their own—in a mansion—and embarking upon an adventure they could never have imagined. Tag and Licorice’s parents explain that their family comes from a magical forest where animals have abilities like people, a place which attracts and is only known to animals. Unfortunately, the Animals’ Forest is a place to be avoided, due to the fact that King Wolf and his army, the Canine Order, once drove out all the other animals in their quest for power. Nevertheless, Tag, Licorice, and their friend Johnny soon find themselves living in Suburb City, the closest city to the Animals’ Forest—and the Canine Order is back, looking for a descendant of the cat who once hid a mystical crystal. The three friends learn that their arrival in the city is more than coincidental and that they must find the crystal first, or they and all the other animals will suffer King Wolf’s wrath.

Cats of Destiny

This book had an exciting and fast paced story. Kids would most likely love the Asian style fight scenes but it’s very difficult to describe that kind of action in a book. At times there was more telling than showing but over all it was an interesting story.
