Author: Lisa and Valerie Martin | Illustrator: Kelly Murphy | Publisher: Algonquin Young Readers | Ages: 8 and up A message has traveled via the mouse network to cat brothers Anton and Cecil: their rodent friend Hieronymus has been captured. Though he'd rather stay close to home, Anton must get to the friend who saved his life. Cecil is quick to action, too, but it's adventure he craves. Boarding one of the machines the mice call "landships"--noisy, smoke-belching trains--Anton and Cecil travel to the heart of the Wild West. Along the way Cecil is tossed out by the train's conductor, only to face huge bison, chattering prairie dogs, and the most dangerous creature of all, a boy who wants to make Cecil a pet. Meanwhile, Anton's search leads him to stampeding herds, menacing rattlesnakes, and fierce, enormous cats.
In this perilous territory, do Anton and Cecil have the courage and wit to find and save Hieronymus?
The heroes of Anton and Cecil: Cats at Sea, which the New York Times called "engrossing and unpredictable," return in an exciting adventure that will delight fans of the first book and new readers alike.« James To The Rescue (2016)Back to Books GalleryThe Wollstonecraft Detective Agency, Book 1 The Case of the Missing Moonstone (2015) »

Author: Lisa and Valerie Martin | Illustrator: Kelly Murphy | Publisher: Algonquin Young Readers | Ages: 8 and up"After their adventures at sea, cat brothers Anton and Cecil have returned to their port home. Anton is more worldly after his experiences but still cautious, and would be happy to stay put forever, while Cecil longs for more adventures. They receive a message that Hieronymus, a mouse to whom Anton owes his life, has been captured and is in need of rescue. The brothers set out to find him, though this time their passage is not by ship but by train, called "landships," "rolling death," and "growlers" depending on who the cats talk to. Their trip will take them far from the sea and the port environment they are familiar with and introduce them to life on the prairie and new animals, many of whom help the brothers-though others would like to make a meal of them. Following cryptic clues, Anton and Cecil will need all their resourcefulness to find and save Hieronymus. As with the first book, descriptive language puts readers right with the brothers as they escape a ravenous owl, use a stampede of bison to their advantage, and enlist the aid of prairie dogs to escape a pack of coyotes. The siblings are separated for a time, and the different perspectives in the narrative effectively highlight the personalities and tastes of each cat. As this part of their story ends, there are hints that in the next installment the brothers will take to the air. VERDICT A satisfying adventure for fans of animal fantasy tales." --School Library Journal« James To The Rescue (2016)Back to Books GalleryThe Wollstonecraft Detective Agency, Book 1 The Case of the Missing Moonstone (2015) »
