Happy Friday everyone. Today I am going to do a review on a Christmas Holiday book. Halloween is just around the corner and the dreaded Christmas takeover will begin. But I thought I would give this one a go before time starts to race by. This one would be perfect for the young adults in your life that want something fun to read. Check out my thoughts on "The Meow Guardians," by Maria Vermisoglou below.

BLURB:
This Christmas the holiday spirit is under threat and only a special stray can save it!
The name's Ginger, AKA Agent Meow 01. Usually, I spend my free time searching for scraps and getting chased by dogs, like the stray cat that I am.
But this Christmas, everything changes.
When the dog agents from PAWs mess up and leave the human world hanging by a thread, it's Ginger to the rescue. With my combination of brains, stealth, and daring, I’m the agent they call when the fur starts to fly. Except this time, I've got a new partner.
A house cat.
With the clock ticking, this mission seems doomed to failure with so many pheromones about.
Will the Christmas spirit be saved, or will we turn our tails and let the world burn?

KATIE'S REVIEW:
Ginger is a frisky orange tabby that’s used to working as a secret agent to save Christmas. He prefers to work alone, but finds himself partnered up with a house cat named Princess. They have a fun sense of banter between each other while they try to get to know one another as they work on their assignments. The question standing will be if they accomplish all their tasks to save Christmas.
Maria touches on a few troubled topics for kids. One major one is how autism affects them and how they see a holiday like Christmas. Ginger has to figure out how to help the boy and help him figure out how to have a joyous holiday when he doesn’t know how to express himself. Each kid with autism is different, but I think Maria did a beautiful depiction on how a kid struggling with the ailment would react to a kitty and how they would behave in a stressful environment.
There are a lot of emotions that get touched on in this book and Maria does a great job helping the kitties to continue on throughout the struggle. Each person they touch is a stepping stone to save the holiday they know and love. And you can’t but root for the cats as they go along on their journey. There are comical moments that make you want to laugh and some depressing moments that leave you feeling for the character in question.
If I had to give this book a star rating out of five stars it would be 5/5 stars hands down. Highly recommend this book to the readers looking for a quick read with a holiday adventure. It is a fun loving tale that leaves you wanting more and I am one wondering if there will be more for Ginger and Princess.
