Ava and Taco Cat
About this ebook
Ava Wren desperately wants a cat for her 11th birthday—but gets way more than she bargained for when she adopts a rescue cat.
When Ava Wren hears about an injured yellow tabby with mismatched ears, she becomes obsessed and wants to rescue him. She even picks out a perfect palindromic name: T-A-C-O-C-A-T. But when Taco joins the family, he doesn't snuggle or purr—all he does is hide. Worse, Ava's best friend starts hanging out with Zara, a new girl in fifth grade. Ava feels alone and writes an acclaimed story, "The Cat Who Wouldn't Purr" with her sister. What begins as exciting news turns into a disaster.
How can Ava make things right? And what about sweet, scared little Taco?
Ava and Taco Cat is perfect for:
- Kids who love cats and budding animal rescue enthusiasts
- 9 to 12 year old girls
- Young aspiring writers
- Reluctant readers
