INTERMEDIATE FICTION
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Eric Beddows. Because he has seven toes on each paw, Toes is shunned by the other kittens in his litter. After getting trapped in a housing project basement, Toes is eventually rescued by a downhearted young violinist. Though slow to start and unevenly paced, the novel's arousing final chapters will have many readers reaching for their handkerchiefs.
