The Kiwi Series
Have you ever wished your cat could talk or wondered
where he/she goes when you are not around?
Kiwi seems like a typical moggie, content to nap in the sun and chase shadows, but she has a secret. She is a magical cat from a place called Cat City. With her two humans, James and Amy, Kiwi finds mysteries and adventures, dealing with catnappings, jewel thieves, giant rats, time travel, haunted houses, Father Christmas, pyramids and more. The fun stories contain positive messages about loyalty, friendship, honesty, bullying and the power of standing together. The books contain illustrations by Nikki McBroom. Furry fun for ages 9-99.
"Very well written fantasy about an alternate reality for cats. It creates a richly detailed place called Cat City where a suspenseful mystery story unfolds. Two young children are transported to this realm by their magical cat where they play an important role in solving a case of catnapping. The details of this world are amazing, but equally impressive are the details of the characters which are brought to life vividly by the author. I found myself laughing aloud at the many witty sections and comical situations. If Pixar is looking for their next animated feature hit, they should contact this author about an adaptation of this book." (Ed Drury)

Great choice! I love cats too. I'm a bit addicted!
DeleteRapunzel
ReplyDeleteI loved that too. I wonder what shampoo she used!
DeleteVickie - I'm so In on this! I hope I win. Love your writing and Kiwi is on my reading list.
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg. Lots of luck!
DeleteI should have indicated my favorite fairy tale - The Little Mermaid - When the kids were all young, we made a video of them acting it out. The other was - Three Billy Goats Gruff
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite fairy tale was Hansel and Gretel, I think because of the witch's house. Close second would be Little Red Riding Hood. For whatever reasons, the ones I remember are mostly Grimm's Brothers stories.
ReplyDeleteI love Ella Enchanted it was a sweet story and I love the bit about the prince but the fact that they found each other, like the movie with Drew Barrimore where she saves herself and then marries the prince.
ReplyDeleteThe Emperor's New Clothes -- the truth always comes out. I have a rep of being that loud mouthkid XD
ReplyDeleteI love Beauty and the Beast.
ReplyDeleteHi! just so you know, I had to edit spacing in the Tweet because it was 16 characters over. I posted it though!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite was always Sleeping Beauty. I think I liked the idea of the prince waking her with a kiss :) I guess I was a romantic even when I was young!
ReplyDeleteCinderella for the singing
ReplyDeletecinderella, its the first one i remember ever hearing and have always loved it :)
ReplyDeleteI love fairy tales. I actually wrote a paper for my Literary Non-Fiction class about the resurgence of fairy tales in popular culture. This was last year when the two movies based on "Snow White" came out along with the tv show "Once Upon a Time…" and then "Cinder" came out. It was quite an explosion of fairy tales in mediums. I concluded that because of the rough economic times, people were grasping for something to escape to. In fairy tales, the impossible happens. The disenfranchised become the heroes and heroines. They rise to power and usually become a King or Queen. We are still clinging to the American dream and through the use of fairy tales we get to live that dream. As far as my favorite fairy tale goes, I love "Beauty and the Beast." I love it so much that I have thought seriously about naming my first daughter Belle. In books, I love retellings of fairy tales like "Cinder" and "Ella Enchanted." In TV, the show "Beauty and the Beast" on the CW is one of my favorites and in movies, I loved "Mirror, Mirror," "Beastly" and "The Wizard of Oz." Also, a big fan of the musical "Wicked."
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

Red Riding Hood. I like the ambiguities that can make retellings so interesting.
ReplyDeleteI love Cinderella, a girl with a tough life ends up with a life of her dreams.
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to read my sister and I Snow White and Rose Red. I was Rose Red. This book is sentimental to me:)
