The Cat at the Wall by Deborah Ellis

4.0

To those who bring kindness to chaos (dedication).

Clare is a mean girl growing up in Pennsylvania until she dies and ends up a cat in the West Bank. After being chased by a mean tom cat, she follows 2 Israeli soldiers into a seemingly abandoned house hoping for safety and some food. They quickly realize that the house is not abandoned when she and the soldiers discover a little boy hiding there. The situation begins to spiral out of control and it is up to Clare to do something but what can a small cat such as herself do to fix the situation? Has Clare learned that she must, at least, try to do good? MS Children & War, Fantasy, Cats
