Book Synopsis

What would you do if you were destined to be king?

Join me, Midnight, King of the Cats, on my heartwarming journey from kitten to crown. Several unforgettable characters have helped me fulfill my destiny-Oreo, my boy, Phillip, Jerry the Gecko, my brother Forte-but I am the star of this show. My bravery, loyalty, kindness, self-confidence, and most of all, my humility, are the values I've developed as a majestic king, and I've collected my Royal Remarks on these topics for you in each chapter. You're welcome.

Only the wisest, most perseverant, and cleverest children should read my story of self-discovery and adventure. And only families who enjoy laughter, tenderness, and some fluffy chaos.
