Rufus is no ordinary cat. His mesmerizing green eyes captivate every human he meets. Moreover, he has a destiny, and it calls to him from birth, luring him into a wilderness that combines breathtaking beauty with imminent danger. Hungry eagles, owls, and coyotes are ever on the lookout for a cat that's not vigilant. As Rufus discovers, though, destiny isn't just about eluding danger or releasing the adventurer that lives within us all. It's also about friendship that lasts a lifetime. No Ordinary Cat introduces us to some memorable characters, both human and feline. Among them a singing gardener, a poet who makes irresistible crab cakes, and a feral cat who will teach Rufus how hard it can be to say goodbye. This is more than an adventure story about cats. It's a tale of courage, discovery, and selfless heroism. A story for any reader, any age, who knows what it means to have a friend that can read what's in our heart.

Industry Reviews

"This feline-centric yet deeply human and adult-friendly novel for children is the first work of fiction by Spandel, a prolific author best known for instructional books on writing for classrooms and workshops. May it not be her last. The author's well-drawn characters are shaped by empathy, not sentiment, and by her near-poetic observations of the minutiae in their lives . . . The text is richly complemented by Kelleher's pastel paintings of animals and ambient settings . . . . A beautifully written and illustrated feline tale with subtle emotional depths."-Kirkus Reviews
