INTERMEDIATE FICTION
De Lint, Charles

The Cats of Tanglewood Forest

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Charles Vess. When friendly cats turn orphan Lillian into a kitten to save her from a deadly snake bite, a perilous journey through a magical land ensues. The story is enchantingly dreamlike, and Lillian is a likable heroine. Atmospheric green-tinged illustrations make the setting feel ultimately benign. This is an expansion on the author-illustrator team's story for younger readers, A Circle of Cats.
