Nadia spends as much time as she can at her friend Violet’s house, playing with the kittens her mum brings home from her job at the animal shelter. When Violet tells Nadia about a pregnant cat urgently in need of a place to stay, Nadia convinces her parents to foster Gracie for the summer.
After Gracie gives birth to five beautiful kittens, Nadia is instantly drawn to the smallest and sweetest, who she names Luna. But while the other kittens are quickly adopted, Nadia is heartbroken to see no one is interested in Luna. Can she help the kitten find her forever home?
If you've read any of my Holly Webb reviews, you know that she tends to make me cry. I have to be honest, this one didn't make me cry, but it is every bit as good as her other books.
It's a slightly different style of story; the point-of-view animal is never in danger of being abandoned, and the point-of-view child hasn't been longing desperately for an animal of her own for her whole life. I enjoyed the story, though, and it does help to shine a light on the issue of cats needing fostering.
The illustrations, as always, are lovely and really help to lift the story. I enjoyed this very much, I'm glad not to have needed tissues with it, and I look forward to selling it in a couple of weeks!
Nadia and the Forever Kitten publishes on the 8th July, 2021. I received a free copy and am writing an honest review.
