Good Luck, Louisa!

Louisa is horrified when she gets the news that Miss Matting's Ballet school has to close down. The only other school in town is notoriously hard to get into, and very expensive! Phoebe, Tony and Louisa all audition and the others soon receive letters telling them their fate. But there is no letter for Louisa. Is this the end of her dancing career?

Reviews

Peter Gethers' trio of books about the globe-trotting Norton are witty and warm. We not only learn of Norton's sweet personality but also about the author's feelings about what really matters when it comes to love and cats

—— Vicki Myron, author of DEWEY

A charming and heartening account

—— Kirkus Reviews

Norton is clearly a charmer, and Gethers tells his story with contagious affection....Will warm the heart of any confirmed cat-lover

—— Washington Post Book World

A delight. Norton, the cat, brings Gethers to some of life's great lessons ... He teaches Gethers the value of real commitments and the value of love

—— Rita Mae and Sneaky Pie Brown , Los Angeles Times Book Review

An entertaining romp that leaves no doubt that Mr Gethers and his cat have a most remarkable relationship

—— New York Times Book Review

Excellent story, hot characters. This one just rattles along, with beautiful dialect dialogue and family tensions. Teenage girls who pore over horoscopes and worry about boys will love this one!
