Wolfie: A Cat Beyond Time

When the Moore family rescues a tiny kitten from certain death, they have no idea that he will grow up to become a very special cat. Wolfie, as they name him, has all of the quirks common to his species, except one little detail: Wolfie is a time traveler. Whenever and wherever he travels, he brings his humans with him. This is children’s historical fiction, perfect for kids (or grandkids). What's better than a time-traveling cat who takes his family to the Wild West in the 1800s? Join the Moore children, Minna and Clayton, as they experience the Wild West as no two children have ever done before. CAUTION: This is suitable for youngsters age 9 through 14 (grades 4-9) and contains some violence.

A Delightful Tale

"This is the author's first book, and as initial works go, this one is a bit unusual in that it doesn't incorporate all of the common errors that first books usually exhibit. Perrone hits all the right notes with story continuity, writing quality, and the voice of the main characters. Becky Perrone has a master's touch in painting a visual narrative. And she does so right out of the starting gate, rather than giving the reader three or four chapters of "back story" to slosh through before the actual story begins. That ability is highly unusual for a new writer.

‘Wolfie: A Cat Beyond Time’ is a combination of a Young Adult time-travel adventure and a carefully researched narrative in the historical fiction category. It's not only a journey through time; it also weaves into the story arc a long and arduous trek across the new American frontier. The fact that Wolfie (the family cat) has the unusual ability to initiate time travel pales in the glow of the adventure that the Moore children encounter on their journey with the homesteaders—and, if I didn't know better, I would wager that Becky Perrone was sitting right beside Minna and Clayton on that wagon train journey.

I want to finish this review by diving a bit deeper into the visual narrative aspect of Becky's work. She not only creates believable characters to guide us through this adventure, but she inserts them into a most realistic environment. I was blown away by her description of a specific general, circa 1866; it was so vivid that I knew immediately whom she was describing. I could go on, but nothing I could add would provide the pleasure of actually reading her work for yourself. I highly recommend you do so.”
