About This Book
A young farm girl awakens to find her newborn kittens missing and begins a search that expands into a summer of discovery. Accompanied by family and a faithful terrier, she travels through rivers, forests and shorelines, visits a local castle, and observes storks and village life. The episodic narrative balances everyday domestic care and school scenes with outdoor adventures and surprises, tracing the girl's attachment to animals, the testing of friendships, moments of homesickness, and a concluding farewell that underscores growing responsibility and emotional maturity.
