This book is very nostalgic for me. I read and listen to it alot. It's a story about two animal secret agents (a cat and a raven) who have to spy on an evil Wicht and wizard (aunt and nephew) who they suspect are responsible for many environmental atrocities happening.
They are right and now they have to stop the biggest atrocity of them all.
Even tho the book was realised in 1989 it's still relevant and very well written. What I like the most about this book, is that it has a happy end.
The book is very well written, but Michael Ende is also a great author.
It's a great book for a quick read, because it has very simple language (children's book), and isn't that long.

I really liked it but the plot conveniences were a little too visible for me. And having read this after Momo I'm sort of getting the feeling that when you have read one book by Ende, you've read all of them. Plot-wise, at least. Or at least in the sense of how the plot is finally resolved.
And there were some problematic things, like fat-phobia. But I was able to let those slide a little because the book is kinda old.
