The Cat's Maw by Brooke Burgess
5.0
This could be one of the greatest books I've read from this genre. Because I have a teenage son, I've been through a lot of them and this is the first time I have ever come out the other side crying like a baby.
Billy is wonderful, thoughtful, smart, brave and creative. His story, full of fantasy and adventure, is still, when it comes right down to it, the story of a clumsy boy navigating a world that simply won't stop throwing obstacles in his path at every turn. It's delightful to watch him get past each one, but it's also terrifying and heart-wrenching. It truly made me feel like a kid again.
