Like all cats,
Comet knew he had been born with nine lives. But he'd never thought much about it until
the day he lost life number one in a flower garden on Nantucket. He'd spent lazy days
wandering all over the island, not calling any one place home. Now he knows it is time to
settle down. But Comet's lives begin to disappear all too quickly, as he gets into one
humorous predicament after another. Then comes the day of the big hurricane....
Beautiful island scenes--sandy beaches, hillside flower
gardens, seaside trails, villages, and the sea itself are set within exquisite shell
borders. Once again Jan Brett brings her originality and charm to a familiar setting as
she inhabits her Nantucket with colorful canine residents, among them a shaggy sheepdog
captain who travels through the story and into the borders looking for a friend to live
with him and his lighthouse cat. |
