"I'd won a bet, been fingerprinted, helped write a sermon, and met a mind reader, all in one day."
That's just a regular day for 11 year old Zoe Royston, who's come to live with ther Uncle Henry after years of having to care for herself and her mentally ill mother. Zoe trusts no one at first, but as time goes on, she gets to know Uncle Henry's friends and their small town. Zoe befriends another "wild thing", a feral cat hanging around her uncle's house, and learns to believe in others as she coaxes the cat into friendship. Zoe and the cat alternate the telling of this beautifully written story of how kindness can tame wildness in both animals and humans. Check out Wild Things by Clay Carmichael!
