A Review by Abigail Robinson

Blitzcat is the story of a black cat called Lord Gort. Set in World War II, her owner, Geoffrey, leaves home to fly in the war. His family have just moved house and Lord Gort hates it so she sets off on a journey to return to her old home in Dover and later continues her adventure to find ‘her person’, stopping to change lives wherever she goes.

The story does take a little time to get used to the constant  change of main characters but once you understand that and get more into what is going on, it can get quite exciting, especially near the end. It is amazing how a cat can have a sense of how to get to places from so far away and how they can sense where their person is even when they’re across the sea. When you read it, you can really tell how cats have nine lives!

The story can be a bit slow moving at the beginning but in the last few chapters you don’t want to stop reading and sometimes you are really surprised by what happens.

On the whole it is a good book and I will give it 9/10.
