INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Gayton, Sam

His Royal Whiskers

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Sydney Hanson. In the kingdom of Petrossia, disaster strikes when "mathemagician" Pieter and alchemist Teresa accidentally turn the despotic Czar's son, Alexander, into a fluffy kitten. After the initial humor of the premise, the pun-filled, whimsical tale gradually--and naturally--becomes deeper, verging on philosophical as the plot develops. Footnotes and asides throughout keep things interesting; grayscale illustrations are also included.
