The two books that I would like to review today are both written by Peg Kehret. "The Stranger Next Door" and "Spy Cat" are two books written for younger readers that recount the adventures of Pete the cat and his owner Alex.
In the first book, Alex and his family have just moved to a new neighborhood. Alex is hoping to meet some new friends, but he is encountering hostility at school. A series of fires are also happening around the new neighborhood.
Pete is a smart cat who tries to give his family clues as to what is happening, but all they can hear are Pete's meows which they translate as requests for food. Pete must try to get people to understand who the criminal is.
In the second book, robberies are happening in the neighborhood. Alex's brother is kidnapped by the robbers, and it is up to Pete to save the day.
These books are good books for younger readers. Some young adult and children's books about animals I find quite good for all ages of animal lovers. These two books, as least as far as I am concerned, wouldn't be of interest to those older than 12. However, younger children would like them.
