This was my November Early Reviewers' book, which arrived within the last week.
The premise was cute: an adventurous cat becomes a stowaway (by choice) on her family's vacation to the African wilderness. Left behind when her owner's Land Rover takes off unexpectedly, she encounters a meerkat while on her way back to base camp.
She winds up living with the meerkat group, learning more about their society and assisting them when problems of a serious nature crop up.
This is not a children's book, although preteens and up can and should enjoy it. As an adult, I found myself appreciating how the author played with words, and enjoyed the relationships between and amongst the animals portrayed.
Definitely worth the read, perhaps a reread in the future.
I gave it 3 1/2 stars. :)
