The Kitten Next Door is the latest book by Holly Webb, the author of many animal stories. I have read several of her stories and have enjoyed them all—this is the same. In this story, Sophia has wanted a cat for a long time but goes to her friend Zara’s house to visit her two kitties.
Willow is a stray cat, fed and cared for by Mark and Louise, Sophia’s neighbors. When the neighbors move, Willow stays there, hungry and scared. Sophia worries about her and works to convince her parents to let her live with them. Will Sophia be successful? Will Willow have a home to live in?
The Kitten Next Door is easy to read but can be hard to read the topic of a cat being hungry, scared, and alone when you want to pet, love, and keep it for yourself! Kids in third grade and above will have the best chance of reading the story but kids of all ages will love to hear it!
