Fiction for Children discussion

Looking for Goodreads readers who like children’s books and would be kind enough to have a look at my book Mia is Lost, an animal adventure story aimed at young competent readers (6-9 years old).
Mia is a curious, cheeky kitten looking for adventure. Tempted by the mysterious forest behind her back garden she ventures in. Soon she is lost. Night falls, a thunderstorm strikes and hungry foxes prowl. Will Mia’s friends find the scared kitten before it is too late? The neighbourhood cats ask a wise owl to lead the search.
Bats with superpowers, two kind deer, a forgetful squirrel and a nosy hedgehog all play their part in this big-hearted animal adventure story that will keep children and adults hooked.
Having worked for many years as a vet in the UK, I chose a black kitten as the main character as black cats sadly still struggle to find forever homes. I hope that the Mia books will encourage more people to adopt black cats and that children will enjoy going on woodland adventures with their parents or grandparents to look for the forest animals.
This is not a picture book or a ten-minute bedtime story but at 17000 words a chapter book for boys and girls who are ready for slightly more complex stories with multiple characters.
It is currently free on kindle unlimited and available as an e-book or paperback on Amazon https://mybook.to/miathekitten. If you read the e-book on your phone or a tablet you can enjoy the illustrations in full colour whereas the paperback contains black and white images.
I am a debut author and would love to hear from readers, old and young 😊. Initial feedback has been very positive and some parents have commented that they read the book to children as young as four, who were able to follow the story and enjoyed it.
My author email address is: mia@jkkeane.co.uk or just comment here in this thread.
If you read the book, please consider leaving a review.
Thanks for your time.
Kind regards
JK Keane
