Time Cat

Time Cat is by Lloyd Alexander. Jason always thought his cat Gareth could talk, so when Gareth speaks to him he is not surprised. Gareth does not have nine lives but has the ability to visit nine different times and places and take Jason with him. They visit Ancient Egypt, Roman Britain, pre-Christian Ireland, Imperial Japan, Renaissance Italy, 16th century Peru, late 16th century Isle of Man, 17th century Germany, and America at the beginning of the Revolutionary War. In each place they help someone, and meet historical figures. A very cute book.

Ratings: 5th grade - 6 out of 10.
