Summary: Time travel with Time Cat!
Review: When I read Time Cat I really enjoyed how it traveled through time a lot. This was the first book I have read by Lloyd Alexander, and boy was it great! Lloyd Alexander has great detail in Time Cat. Another thing about the book I liked was that Jason the main character) and Gareth (the other main character) are always looking for adventure. Time Cat is a book about a boy, Jason, and his cat, Gareth, who travel through time. Jason is finding out how people thought of cats in different places, during different times. Jason is also learning what different places in different times were like. Jason and Gareth have many adventures together and face many obstacles together. To find out more go to your local library or bookstore and get the book!

Summary: Travel Trough Time!
Review: Wow! I started this book thinking I would hate it, but I love it! I am still reading the book but it is really good so I have to write a reveiw now.

The book is about a cat named agreth who can talk to his owner and use up his nine lives to go on nine adventures. Jason, his owner, finds out about this and the second he does, he is in Ancient Egypt, 2700 B.C.. Now, Jason is taken captive from the Pharaoh and tries to get out. Jason is then let out to show King Neter-Khet (the pharaoh) how to treat cats. The king lets Jason and Gareth go. Gareth winks at Jason and they travel further in time to Great Britain and Rome, 55 B.C.

Catch up on Jason and Gareth's other adventures in the book. I highly recomend it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Purrfect!!!
Review: Wow, that was pathetically corny, but I couldn't resist.

Anyway, Alexander's book is wonderful. He's certainly my favorite, but Time Cat still managed to surprise me. It was an entertaining story (which ALL of his are), and it also reached some of the depth of his best tales (Westmark, Prydain, The Marvelous Misadventures of Sebastian).

The concept is great. Everyone knows that cats have nine live, but we don't realize that they live them simultaneously in various periods and places and can move from life to life at will. The cat in this, Gareth, ends up taking a boy, Jason, with him to visit each life. They visit such places as Egypt: 2700 B.C., Ireland: 411 A.D., Peru: 1555, Italy: 1468, and others. They get through an exciting adventure in each place and time.

Each story is highly entertaining. You get to witness the excitement while learning about various cultural facts and historic figures (such as Saint Patrick and Leonardo da Vinci). The real strength in the novel is the way in which the stories work together to create a strong message about being in awe of life and living it with courage and compassion. Time Cat is a superb novel and one of Alexander's best.
