Why Some Cats are Rascals, Book 1

Click here to listen to CBC interview with the author Boszenna Nowiki

Rascal, the cat, loves adventure. In fact, he lives for that. He will spend eight of his nine lives looking for adventure. He lives with a gang of other cats in a white wooden house with a big garden and a view of mountains.

Rascal is also a writer. He records his adventures in a diary. Some of his explorations are true, some imaginary, but all of them are fascinating.

Rascal will touch your heart and soul. The storytelling challenges a child’s imagination while teaching him – in a fun and exciting way – a lesson or two about real life values.

Why Some Cats are Rascals, Book 2 The second book of the series ”Why Some Cats are Rascals” begins with Rascal and his feline companions arriving in the Sahara desert at the time of pharaohs – a dream place for cats, as their significance and social status rises to that of semi-gods.  However Rascal and his gang do not entirely fit the established way of life and the belief systems of ancient Egypt and they have to run back to Catanada to escape being sacrificed at the altar of Egyptian god. Before they arrive back home to defend it from a gang of thieves, they first have to travel through medieval Europe where they encounter misunderstandings, hatred and witch-hunts in all possible shapes and forms. Rascal and his gang are guided by the never-ending wisdom of Prehistoric Cat Samuel who teaches them how to use the power of purring and love against the evil forces of the world. The strongest point of the captivating stories of Rascal is their educational value. The author, Boszenna Nowiki, does a great job in educating children about history, geography, zoology, survival skills, and such positive moral values as friendship, loyalty, love, and trust, while at the same time filling her stories with fast action, magic and adventure, with many unexpected twists and turns.  In her books Boszenna Nowiki strives to provide for children and their families the best option to counterbalance the ever-present negativity, hatred and violence that children encounter in their everyday lives, especially on TV and in electronic games. The book series about Rascal is addressed to children, ages 9 - 12, but it is equally enjoyed by readers of other ages as evidenced by very positive customer reviews at Amazon.com which could be directly accessed at http://tinyurl.com/e3wsx   There will be altogether 9 books in this series.

Why Some Cats are Rascals, Book 3 Book Description The fearless cats are off on another dangerous adventure. After surviving the perils of the Ancient World now they're on their way with the wagon train of the pioneer families, taking the Oregon Trail to the unknown land of WWW. The Wildly Wild West! But with flooded rivers to ford, dry wide prairies and great mountains to cross, not to mention gangs of dreaded rats to confront, will they make it? Dare you go with them? From the Author The book is dedicated to all cats, cat-lovers and caring veterinarians from CATANADA and the rest of the world. Although the story is fiction, many of the historical and geographic references such as The Oregon Trail and Sequoyah Alphabet, are real. Just as real are the characters of the book. They live with me in a white wooden house with a big garden and a magnificent view of mountains. Their names are real too, but some of them, like Grandma Calico and Uncle Toothless, are now on the other side of the rainbow... The central character, Rascal, is a four year old, orange colored male. He is anything but the typical, cuddly 'lap-cat'. His behavior seems to justify his name, but if the truth be known, his heart is that of an angel. And it shows so clearly while he cares for the kitten Onyx, recently adopted from the SPCA. I hope this book provides readers with a pleasant escape from everyday concerns, whether related to school or home. If any reader plans using this or any other of my novels in a class setting or book club, please let me know. I'd be delighted to meet with the group and chat about Rascal and other cats. I'd like to hear your thoughts about this or other books of mine, as well as any views which relate to cats, children problems, and life in general. And, if you are just a plain 'ole' cat lover, perhaps with a cat story to share, feel free to contact me by email at rascalandfriends@gmail.com.
