My Thoughts: This was cute to read. We are following a Ghost Cat through history. It's like those videos where someone attaches a camera to their cat's collar and sees the world through their eyes. I feel like cat lovers will like this. History lovers will enjoy seeing the little snapshots of history.
This was a fun book to spend my time with. I can see a lot of people enjoying it.
