Familiar Diversions
I'm a librarian who loves anime, manga, and reading a wide variety of genres.

Reading progress update: I've read 66 out of 288 pages.
I've noticed that if I go too long without driving outside of town, my driving anxiety gets worse, so I decided to schedule an oil change and book shopping trip while I still have time off from work. I brought this with me to read while I waited for my car.
I first read this when I was in the 5th grade. We had an assignment that required us to read a certain number of sci-fi books. Why science fiction? I can't recall. I think we were doing some kind of "world of the future" long-term assignment at the time, so this may have tied in with that.
At any rate, I was firmly a fantasy reader and felt in my gut that science fiction was not for me. Somehow I stumbled across Andre Norton's various cat-focused sci-fi books and changed my mind. This was one of them. The copy I'm currently reading has a different cover, but the Booklikes cover art featured here is the same as the cover of the book I read in 5th grade, so I'm going with it.
I enjoyed this when I first read it. I don't necessarily dislike it now, but my reading tastes have definitely changed. Norton's style seems stiffer than I remembered it being.
