Review:

Harley is a sleek black cat taking a vacation with his human family in Venice. Not really traveling much before, Venice opens Harley's eyes to many enchanting adventures. He becomes involved in a war between his new friends and a rival band of cats. He roams about the city in alleys and other neighborhoods. He learns much, but when his eyes fall upon a beautiful Angora cat whose mysteriousness enchants him, somehow stealing his heart, he does everything he can to know more about her. But will his vacation end in happiness or despair as his adventure leads him into one disaster after another?

Children between the ages of 10 and 14 will enjoy this 96 page chapter book animal adventure with Harley. This story will teach the reader about loyalty and courage, but also about the eternalness of love and how it can create a bond that is unbreakable.
