Patrick

By: Maury Franklin

Patrick tells the story of a runt Siamese cat.

Unloved, unwanted, and not exactly handsome, his family dumped him at the local animal shelter.

After being adopted by eleven-year-old Billy's older neighbor, Mrs. Bushon, Billy and Patrick develop an extraordinary bond, and Patrick proves he's more than just any ol' cat. Patrick learns to do remarkable tricks and even saves Billy and his family during a break-in. Patrick's story is an inspiring take for all the un-beautiful and unloved kids who have big dreams.
