Booktalk #1 Klawde is not your average cat. He has sharp claws. Fine fur. And, being the High Commander of the planet Lyttyrboks, has an entire world of warlike cats at his command. He’s an emperor from another planet until he is exiled to Earth. He’s cruel. He’s cunning. He’s brilliant… and he’s about to become Raj Banerjee’s best friend. (Sunshine State Young Readers Award Books 2020-2021) Booktalk #2 On the planet Lyttyrboks, Klawde, evil alien warlord cat, had clawed his way to the top and ruled his subjects with an iron paw. When his political rivals oust him from power, however, in hopes of getting rid of him forever, they exile him to a planet in a galaxy far, far away, a planet considered primitive and said to be inhabited by cat-eating ogres. The planet’s name is…Earth. Klawde arrives on Earth in Oregon during the rainy season and is faced with the awful choices of either getting wet or seeking shelter among the ogres. He ventures to the nearest house and requests entry, and there meets Raj. Raj’s family has recently moved to Oregon, and he’s friendless, lonely, and homesick. Unsuspecting, he sees the yowling cat on his doorstep as a potential friend and housepet. And so the story begins. Will Klawde settle in as a common housecat or does he have diabolical plans for the future? (Vermont Middle Grade Book Award, 2021) |
