 * Name: Amanda Masucci **
 * __ Book Report __**

The book I read was called,__It's like this Cat__, by Emily Neville.
 * 1. ****What is the title of your book and who is the author?**

Two main characters were Dave Mitchell and Tom Ransom. Dave is a New York City boy who gets a cat from Aunt Kate and misplaces Cat one night. Then he finds Cat in a cellar and meets a guy named Tom Ransom and Tom helps Cat out of a cage. Which led me to describe these characters as cheery and helpful. At first in the beggining of the book I agreed with Dave that Tom was a criminal. Considering that he was hiding from the police.
 * 2. ****Name and describe two main characters.**

In the book,__It's like this,Cat,__ by Emily Neville you see how one cat can change a person's life forever. You see Dad wanted Dave to get a dog because dog is man's best friend, and Dad had a dog when he was young. Dave decided to instead get a stray cat from his Aunt Kate, who collected them with giving them a home. One day though while Dave was asleep Cat escaped and was lost in a cellar, luckily though there was a guy who helped Cat out of a cage. Cat kept getting out and then one night he didn't return, Dave went looking and found Cat all scruffed up and bad. He took him to the doctor and Cat was altered to not go out again. Then he met up with the guy from the Cellar who was nam,ed Tom Ransom, Tom was all alone and Tom's Dad the lawyer went and got Tom a job.
