Something is causing mysterious circles to appear in the cornfields of Cansfield Farm. And someone, or something, has obviously terrified Barry Cansfield, the farmer's bullying son. But when friends Ben and Midge sneak out to the farm to investigate, they discover a secret more terrifying than they could possible have imagined - a truly monstrous horror that simply must be stopped...

The explosive denouement of the story is a satisfying conclusion that leaves no loose ends

A charming and heartening account

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

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!
