Finding Mya: He can't live Happily Ever After without her
Eight-year-old Mya has a magical relationship with her grandma's foster kitten, Herman. They talk to each other. Not with words. With tickle thoughts! It’s love at first sight, and they plan to live Happily Ever After. Then the worst happens. Mya's vacation ends, and Herman is given to a woman whose dog treats cats like chew toys. He escapes danger, but the road to finding Mya is scary and tough. She promised to leave picture-maps along the way to her home. All Herman has to do is follow them and he will live Happily Ever After in the safety of Mya’s arms. It's a wonderful plan. Too bad it goes wrong right from the start.

Kimberly Koz was nice enough to send me a copy of her manuscript to her newest book, Finding Mya - He can't live Happily Ever After without her. Part of what makes this book so special is the artwork - all the drawings are done by 7 year-old Mya Campbell and the photos are all by the author, Kimberly Koz.
Finding Mya is about the special relationship between Mya and Herman. While Mya and Herman (and all the other animals in the book) are real, the story is just a story. Well, a very special story.
Herman is part of a litter of kittens Mya's grandmother is fostering until they're old enough to adopt. Mya helps her grandmother with the kittens, and forms a special relationship with Herman. They're both heartbroken when Herman is chosen to go to a forever home. Mya wants Herman to go home with her! They vow to find each other again.
Herman's new home has a dog that plays too rough with kittens. Herman runs away from his new home before he ever gets in the front door. Along the way, he learns some hard lessons and has a lot of adventures. I don't think it's spoiling anything to say that he and Mya eventually find each other again. After all, if they hadn't, there wouldn't be a story to tell!
The book shows the power of love, friendship, trust, and having faith in all those things. The illustrations are charming. It's only 78 pages long, but somehow in those 78 pages it touches on so many themes. It's a positive, uplifting story about overcoming adversity and living happily ever after.
We all enjoyed this book, even mom. I think this book would make a wonderful gift for little sticky people and cat lovers of all ages. The holidays will be here before we know it and this would be a pawsome holiday gift. Finding Mya is available at Amazon.com.

With Kimberley Koz’s ability to weave a grand adventure and descriptive narrative, Finding Mya is like being part of a wonderful Disney movie, complete with a “Happily Ever After” ending. Engaging characters – from sweet Herman, the main cat character of the story who is looking for his missing best friend, an 8 year old human named Mya - to friendly opossums, bossy mice, overbearing dogs, and more it is a story that is perfect for all ages. Adults will enjoy the sharp writing and kids will love the escapades that Herman gets into in his quest to find Mya.
I highly recommend this book and look forward to perhaps a second in the series… Hint, hint!

I loved this book and would find it suitable for children from the ages of 5 on up thru adult - for all cat lovers. I have read a couple of other books written by Kimberely and find her a good writer - I've enjoyed all the books I have read. This one is delightful!
