A parent would reach for this book when their child is navigating the messy middle ground between right and wrong, or when they are showing a fascination with the darker, more complex side of hero and villain origins. This historical fantasy follows the transformation of Leandros, a cat in 17th-century London, as he is drawn into the service of a dark alchemist. It is a sophisticated exploration of how trauma and difficult choices can lead even a loyal heart toward darkness. While the atmosphere is intensely gothic and spooky, it serves as a powerful mirror for children aged nine to thirteen who are beginning to understand that identity is shaped by the paths we choose to follow. It is an excellent choice for a mature middle-grade reader who craves a story with high stakes and real emotional weight.
