Description
A nature-loving cat and her conservationist mum team up to save endangered species!
Boo the tabby cat is born on a Lincolnshire farm and seems destined for a simple life. Everything changes when she’s put up for adoption and is taken in by Ellie Caldwell, an adventurous Cambridge graduate student who loves animals and is studying to become a wildlife conservationist.
Between lectures, Ellie heads to the countryside for camping trips, her Instagram-anointed ‘adventure cat’ in tow. On rocky trails, Boo discovers that, like Ellie, she has a passion for the natural world, and because she’s able to communicate with all animals, she can relate their challenges back to Ellie. But there’s a serious problem: whenever Boo tries to tell Ellie something, all Ellie hears is "Meow."
Can they work out a communication system, and in doing so, save endangered animals from harm while encouraging public support of nature and wildlife?

I received this copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This was a fun Middle Grade read about a conservation student and her adopted cat. Once Ellie and Boo discover they are able to talk to each other, they work together to campaign against the Badger Cull.
As a conservationist I loved the theme, and I am excited for younger people to read these sorts of stories and hopefully be inspired. I think that many of the struggles that Boo faces while running the campaign are similar to how kids feel.
My only criticism would be the lack of acknowledgement that house cats are actually a huge conservation threat to birds. I think that it could have been an interesting storyline to have Boo reckon with that as well.

This book was given to me by Net Galley.
It is a little far fetched, it is about a girl named Ellie who is able to talk to her rescue cat, named Boo.
The cat has been able to talk to other animals so she thinks that since she talks to them, that Ellie will be able to talk to her. But when she tries Ellie can only hear meowing. But one day when Ellie was talking out loud, she heard Boo answering her. It was a miracle.
After Boo told Ellie what was happening to the Badgers in the woods she was able to get the problem out to the British Government through Ellie.
My grandchildren was caught up with the book and I decided that it was really not as far fetched as I thought.
They enjoyed it!

What a beautiful short book for children to connect nature with their daily lives! Boo is incredibly loveable and a great teacher as well.
