The Nine Lives of Montezuma
Another cat adventure story from Michael Morpugo, which is both deftly told, and moving. This is the story of Montezuma, a farm cat who aspires to and achieves great power. He has many adventures, both sad and funny.
Montezuma starts out as a tough ginger kitten, and friend of Matthew. As he grows up, and grows in cunning and guile, he stays friends with Matthew.
This is a story to read to children, to encourage children to read, and because it is so well written, it is great fun for adults to read as well.
