Book Description
By the author of the classic The Snow Goose, a heartbreaking story about a young girl and her most unusual cat, who has magical powers that save her owner's life. Seven-year-old Mary adores her ginger cat, Thomasina, and is crushed when Thomasina falls sick, and Mary’s father, a grim, inflexible man who is the town vet, decrees that the only thing to be done is to put Thomasina down. Mary refuses to speak to her father, and then she herself contracts a life-threatening disease. In the meantime, however, Thomasina has been rescued—by the mysterious Lori, the Red Witch of the glen. Thomasina is now Tabitha, the descendant of an Egyptian goddess, and she is coming back to seek revenge! Thomasina, like Jenny of The Abandoned, Gallico’s other great feline heroine (Jenny is Thomasina’s great-aunt), tells her own story in her own way, witty, charming, divine, and sometimes as sharp as an unsheathed claw. Thomasina is a cat for the ages. Thomasina is a sheer delight.

Book Description
This is a true story about Thomasina, and how she tried to grow a plant from an onion when she was a little girl. She felt very passionate about wanting her idea to come true and she wrote this book for children because she wanted to share with children that if they believe in something in their hearts and in their minds, that with confidence, dedication, commitment, and patience, their ideas can be completed and their dreams can come true. She believes that being curious, and asking questions is a great way to learn about any task, that anyone need to or want to improve in. This book takes the readers on a wonderful learning journey, with a little girl, who was determined to follow her great idea.
