Edward's Cat: A Magical Tale of Edward, his Twin and a Cat

Edward's Cat is a young adult (YA) novella about a teenage boy who can transform into a cat. Even though his twin sister had the power before she died and was able to control it, Edward has no control over how or when he transforms. When Milly, Edward's twin, passes away, her power is bestowed onto her brother. This is a magical realism tale of growing up, learning about yourself and becoming the person you want to be. See how Edward and his mother deal with their grief and how Edward uses the power of Milly the Cat to exact revenge against his bullies at school.

This book is suitable for readers 13 to 18+ and everyone who enjoys coming of age stories with a touch of magic.
