Young Adult

Lorelei Connelly is no ordinary eleven-year-old. She's practical and a forward thinker. When her favorite cat, Mud, dies, she starts a journal to him, chronicling her daily life as a sixth grader so that he can continue to follow her rise to fame and fortune as a beloved actress, celebrated chef, and/or bestselling author. She figures it's also a good way to make sure her future biographers don't get anything wrong about her. But when her parents' marriage starts to unravel, Lorelei's lighthearted daily log becomes a poignant and defiantly humorous account of a family in distress as Lorelei grapples with the ground shifting under her feet.

Yeardley Smith engages the reader with wit, candor, and authenticity.

I love that you wrote a book for children. If I'm lucky enought to win, I would of course read this book which looks very interesting, then donate it to the school library where I work. by the way Lorelei's best friend is Jen.

Thank you so much for winning your Feb. contest. I can't wait to receive the book so I can read it before giving it to my 10 year old granddaughter that loves cats and to read. Thank you!!!
