Where the Irises Bloom

Meer over het boek

In the big city, everyone has a story - even the lost souls. Life on the streets can be tough for a kitten. Between the neighborhood hooligans, trains and traffic whizzing past, unforgiving weather, and the grumpy raccoons competing over scraps of food in the garbage cans, every day is a struggle to survive. Although lost and afraid among the tall, glimmering buildings and their shadowy alleyways below, Fern soon discovers she's not alone. She's seen him before, huddled from the cold by the old tavern. Mother taught her to be wary of the people, but when she takes a chance on him, she learns he has a story, too. Together, they just might save each other. From the author of the acclaimed novel Chasing the Blue Sky comes the compelling, poignant tale of the unusual bond between a stray kitten and a homeless man.
