Illustrated by
Paul Mombourquette.
Soon after she comes to live with her grandfather, Hannah sees a stray cat on the beach and decides to tame it. With patience and the right bait, she finally coaxes Fog Cat into the family, but not for long. The text subtly contemplates the nature of relationships, while the textured watercolors adroitly capture the nuances of the connections among the characters.
