Summary: Superb Book!
Review: The One-Eyed Cat is a superb book for all occasions. I got so caught up in it one night that I read it for over 3 hours! It's about a boy named Ned that doesn't exatly have the easiest life. His mom is in a wheelchair and he has a very strict housekeeper that won't let him do anything. On his 10th birthday he gets a gun from his uncle, his father doesn't approve of him having it and says he can't use it yet. Then one night he sneeks up to the attic and steals it! To find out what happens after that, you're going to have to read the book yourself!

Summary: Brian's review of One-Eyed Cat
Review: This is a very great book and it teaches great morals. It teaches people not to disobey their elders and it teaches them to tell their parents of their guilt. This is a great book for a fourth graders and up! I give this wonderful book five stars because I got hooked on this book! Ned gets a gun for his eleventh birthday. His Dad puts it in the attic, but Ned sneaks it out of the attic and shoots at a shadow. Later, he finds out he shot at a cat. His guilt builds up and he admits his guilt to his Dad.

Summary: A Very Interesting and Detailed Read!
Review: When Ned Wallis receives a rifle for his 11th birthday, he's got to try it out. But when his father hides the rifle in the attic, saying he's not old enough to have a gun, its hard for Ned to resist sneaking the gun out of the house. Soon, Ned finds himself outdoors with the rifle in his hands. Ned knows that what he's doing is wrong, but he only wants to take one shot. Thinking nothing of it, Ned shoots at a dark shadow. On his return home, Ned is sure he sees a face peering down at him from the attic window.

After lying once about the incident to his parents, Ned soon finds himself buried in a giant sea of lies. While helping his elderly neighbor, Mr. Scully, Ned spots a wild cat with one eye missing. Is this what Ned shot at that night? Ned feels terrible that he might have wounded the cat. He even starts feeding the cat, which often takes shelter in Mr. Scully's shed. Ned feels guilty because the person who was in the attic window still knows what he did, but hasn't yet turned him in. He starts thinking it would have been better to have not shot at the dark shadow in the first place. Ned knows he needs to tell someone his secret, but who?

I really enjoyed this book because I could relate to the main character. Although I had to force myself to keep reading at times, the book got increasingly interesting as I continued to read. The unique plot and setting made the tale sound very realistic. There was not much action in this book, but Paula Fox's writing style made me want to keep reading to find out what would happen next. I would recommend this book to readers of all ages because there's something in this book for everyone!
