Book Description

8 and up3 and up
Misty was just an ordinary cat--if any cat could be called ordinary. But after finding a "genie" in a bottle and making a wish, he is forced to become human to rescue a child from Faerie. Being human isn't everything it's cracked up to be. And making deals with the denizens of Faerie is a risky business in itself.

Editorial Reviews

Review

...a fanciful tale filled with magic, adventure and love. --Gayle Trent, author, "Laughing and Learning: Adventures in Parenting."

...one of the best fantasy books anyone could read. It has the perfect blend of fiction and realism. --Amanda Roberts, Romance Reviews Today.

This story is fun. It's easy to follow, just suspenseful enough, and has a satisfying ending. --Gray Walker, Copyright © The Green Man Review.

About the Author

Jennifer St. Clair grew up in Southern Ohio and spent most of her childhood in the woods around her home. She lives in an old house filled with antiques, cats and sisters, not necessarily in that order. She wrote her first novel when she was thirteen, and hasn't stopped since.

More About the Author

Jennifer St. Clair hates writing biographies, because they tend to become out-of-date after a while, and sometimes are difficult to fix. ;) She also hates writing about herself in third person, but that's how things like this are done.

She lives and writes in an old rambling house in southern Ohio that, alas, has no tower, but does have a nice bay window where she can sit in her reading chair and look out on her front-yard vegetable garden. It also contains cats. Every author should have at least one cat for the sole purpose of exercise while attempting to type with a cat asleep on your wrists. Oh, and the joyous accidental deletion of whole paragraphs with one slip of the paw.

Most of the stories Jennifer writes are connected in some way or another; she calls this "The Mess." Unfortunately, unless you read every single one of her books, you probably won't catch all of the connections. Sometimes, she wonders if she has caught all of the connections herself. She calls what she writes rural fantasy as opposed to urban fantasy.

Writing is more of a vocation than a career, at least in Jennifer's mind. She shares some of her stories on her livejournal: http://www.jenstclair.livejournal.com because livejournal, at least, has a cut for text if you decide that you don't want to read any further. She also has a blog, which is updated a few times a week.

In her spare time, she spins her own yarn, weaves her own cloth, grows most of her own food, works at a day job as many authors do, reads many books, and tries her best to exist in this world with one foot firmly placed in Faerie.

The End. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Fairies and Felines, November 6, 2005
This review is from: Nine Lives and Three Wishes (Paperback)
This is the first of Jenifer St. Clair's novels that I've read - but I plan on reading more! Misty, a cat discovers a strange bottle in the woods. When he manages to open it a young boy emerges and offers him three wishes. Is this a genie - or something else? Misty has nothing to wish for himself, so he makes a wish for his owners - with disasterous consquences. Misty is determined to set the matter straight at any cost - even his life.

The fairies in this story reminded me of those in Holly Black's Tithe, but suitable for a younger audience as well. In this fairyland, cats are not allowed because they disrupt magic. This book was so good, I hated to see it end. I usually like quick reads, but I actually wouldn't have minded this story being longer if I could have gotten to know some of the characters better.
