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?

My thoughts on The Adventures of Ellie and Boo by Millie Kerr

The Adventures of Ellie and Boo is a unique, interesting tale with strong overtones of animal conservation. The story is told in a way to be appealing to all ages.

This isn’t your typical children’s book in that the main character is a graduate student not a young child. The adventures that Ellie has with her cat Boo will captivate a child’s attention. There is enough whimsy in the communication between the two of them to carry the story. The thoughts and feelings of all the animal characters are well-written.

The story’s purpose in calling attention to animal & land conservation is conveyed without banging you on the head with it.

I recommend The Adventures of Ellie and Boo to readers of all ages and stations in life.
