The New Boy captures the cat-lover's heart,
By A Customer
This review is from: The new boy (Hardcover)
I began reading The New Boy in the car to my family as we were traveling. We were all immediately drawn to the hilarious antics of Ms. Tovey's Siamese cats, Sheba and Solomon. However, it wasn't long before we were facing the loss of one of her beloved cats; and thus, the New Boy (Seeley) entered the scene. From the very beginning, Seeley had a distinct way of "ruling the roost", and thereby forever changing the dynamics of his new family. Seeley created tension, anxiousness, laughter, and joy for both man and beast. If you're a cat lover, you'll experience Ms. Tovey's expert ability to make the reader recall the wonderful silliness of cats.

The New Boy,
By A Customer
This review is from: The new boy (Hardcover)
Tovey's sequel to *Cats in May* is just as delightful as her other books. Those who loved Sheba, from *Cats in the Belfry* and *Cats in May* once again get to read about her, along with a new kitten named Seeley who is just as silly and lovable as his predecessor Solomon was. Although the book does have sad parts, Tovey's trademark humor soon reasserts itself. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes cats or just enjoys an amusing and touching story.
