    This is a really fun tale of a cat called Montezuma. It’s quite confusing at the start but then you get the hang of it. Each chapter has it’s own cliffhanger because each chapter is Montezuma’s life.

    This book is a tearful and a sad ending story. My best so far! It is good enough for a film.
