June 07, 2009: My book club group in school just finished the book Time Cat by Lloyd Alexander. The book is fantasy, but it seems true. The story takes place at different points of time. The two main characters are a boy called Jason and his cat, Gareth. The plot of Time Cat is traveling through time. Together they visit different countries and cultures. They also help people and solve problems that people have while at each time point. While traveling through time they find out new things, such as Jason learned Egyptians worship cats.
I understand how some of the people in the book felt about cats because I felt the same way when I had a cat. I will give four stars to Time Cat because it was a good book, but it could use more action.Jo Made Me Read it and I Liked it.by Bazilla

June 07, 2009: Jason is a boy, he owns a cat named Gareth. Little did he know Gareth is more than just a ordinary cat, they'll go on strange adventures including a Pharaoh, other cats, Leonardo DaVinci,and more. They go to different times and locations like Egypt, China, Rome. But the end is really unpredictable.
That was a summary of Time Cat a fantasy story written by Lioyd Alexander. I'd give it a 4.5 star rating. I liked the plot, and the character development. However I did not like the fact that the chapters were kind of systematic. Still I'd recommend it to you mostly because after I read it I really liked it.
