I thought I might as well stay a while, though, since they did buy the gourmet cat food. Also, the kids were past the tail pulling stage. I found Martha and Kit's dad John at his desk working.

Many authors try to tell stories from animals' POVs, but few are convincing.
By showing the thoughts, speech and actions of each of the characters, Becky gave them distinct personalities. Kit and Martha were my kids now, and I wasn't about to let Chaparal's evil doings harm them. Becky plays the characters off one another very well. The plot is focused and well-organized. It helps readers to have a clearer picture in mind if you give them a few more details.
