Mr. Maxon has written a very enjoyable children’s book here. Well done!

The nameless cat lives in a land of dry everything - people, trees, food, land. The sponges have come through, you see, and stolen all the moisture and life. Everyone lives a dry meaningless existence and the cat is tired of the same old boring routine day after day. So he decides that he must go and find the sponges and restore moisture to the land.

He sets off on a fun adventure where he meets all sorts of interesting creatures until, finally, he arrives at the castle where the sponges have made their home. It takes a little help from a seed and a turtle, but, like all good ‘hero’ stories, the sponges are, in the end, defeated.

If you are looking for a fun chapter book for your 7-9 year old to read, this should be on the list!
