"Watching Chester has taught me that if I want to be part of a family again, I have to learn what they really need and fhen I have to figure out a way to give it to them. It's a daunting prospect. Humans are confusing.
Suddenly Chester doesn't seem dopey at all."

Humourous and heartfelt, Cammie McGovern's Frankie and Amelia is a charming little book about a cat and his humans, both navigating the struggles of being different. Throughout the novel, Maine coon cat Franklin spends time getting to know his new human Amelia, and comes to many epiphanies on why she's not quite like other humans.

"I wish the other kids at school could see this side of her. I don't know if she would consider making a cardboard box for each of them with drawings on the wall of their faces. If she did, I bet they would start to see her differently."

"I don't want Amelia to wish she was someone different. Just the idea scares me."

This novel, while being funny, is one of inclusion, and super cute for readers of all ages. Loved it.
