Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fairies and Felines, November 6, 2005

By	L. L. Petersen (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
