Julia Golding has done it again!, Nov 13 2009
'Cat Among the Pigeons' by Julia Golding is the second book in her 'Cat Royal' series. It is just as refreshing, thrilling, and wonderfully written as the first.
Cat is back for more adventures down Drury Lane, and though the tale told still contains that 'only-Cat' humor, a darker, deeper element has been added as well. Depth has been added to quite a few characters, new ones are introduced, as well as the return of old favorites such as Billy "Boil" Boyd, Sid, and Frank.
The first chapter plunges into tense excitement, Julia Golding doesn't miss any punches with this one. You'll definitely want to have read 'The Diamond of Drury Lane' before reading this, as much of the story and characters depends upon you having met them before.
I was pleased with the whole product of the book, even for a soft cover, it was well made and beautiful. If your a parent looking for a new series for girls or even boys ages 10-14, this is it. You most likely will not find it at Coles, Chapters does carry them, but they are hard to find, so ask. For some reason, these books haven't quite taken off here, and I cannot fathom why. They are the best to come out in a long time. Hats off to Julia Golding for another fantastic work!
