Where the Irises Bloom by Will Lowrey

I have read and loved several books by Will Lowrey so Where the Irises Bloom was a must read for me.

As with his other books, it is beautifully written with clear and often emotive descriptions putting you right there with little Fern.

 

Fern is an orphaned kitten living in a rough part of a busy city. Struggling to survive she makes friends with a homeless veteran, John, when others ignore her. The other main character is Matthew who helps homeless people and shows compassion for both John and Fern.

 

Fern has some frightening encounters with hoodlums, trains, a feral cat, and busy streets but John shows her compassion and caring.

 

Will Lowrey’s descriptions put the reader at ground level with little Fern. We feel, see, smell, and hear everything she does. It was so real I wanted to reach out, pick her up and take her home.

 

The story's heart-warming ending is emotional, both sad and happy.

 

This book is a must read for animal lovers.

 

My rating 5*
