Although I read only an excerpt of this book I am really looking forward to its release. I am posting this so I will have a record of the title and ISBN so when it is released in Oct. I will remember to get it.
What's not to love about a cat who talks to mice because he likes cheese, who lives in London and gets to spend time with Charles Dickens.

Book reviews
After a year of saying nothing I have decided to return to this blog and post reviews of books I have been reading. I am signed up with NetGalleys and receive a lot of good books and now I feel guilty about not posting something about them. So, here goes: first off (in no particular order)
This Girl is Different by JJ Johnson, Published by Peachtree Publishers (04/01/11)
Imagine being 17 and not knowing about the inside of a school. That is what Evie wants to change when she decides to spend her senior year at the local public high school. From the first day, Evie causes quite a stir with her unconventional ways and desire to change the status quo. Evie gains insight into friendships and loyalty while at the same time realizing that she is not the only one who is different. This is a fast read with interesting quotes at the beginning of each chapter which gives the reader a glimpse into Evie's thoughts as she prepares to tackle a system. There is a plausible and satisfying resolution to the conflict that surrounds the actions of Evie and her friends which perhaps would give readers the strength to undertake things in their own schools that might need to be changed. Check it out.
