Writers, unlike people in other occupations, can pretty much do anything. Author Chalis, in "Luna and the Heroes", gives us an excellent bit of storytelling: a tale as seen through the eyes of... a cat. How cool is that?First things first: this is an adventure story. Our protagonists are Luna the Cat and four young boys: Ian, Fuji, Dennis, and Raymond. This gang of four (+ the cat + Constable Amelia Smith), go around having accidents which eventually turn out good. At some point, the law of probability begins to go operative in the readers minds.How much "chance" is really "chance"? In other words, we have some clever foreshadowing going on, but no matter how much you try to predict the unpredictable ending, it escapes your predictive abilities.As you can see, I enjoyed this book, and found it entertaining. I recommend it highly for young readers from 12 -14 on up, as I sincerely believe it is an enjoyable read. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.Reviewed by Thomas Jerome BakerAuthor ofStory Tellers: In Pursuit of Happiness
