It's so delightfully British, full of eccentric characters with magic revealing itself in unexpected ways. The two children must do everything they can to save the kittens and keep Cat Country from falling into outright war.This book is as charming as I remembered. Carbonel's old witch is up to mischief again, this time plotting with the ambitious cat-queen of a neighboring city. Rosemary and John agree to tend them, but soon enough trouble merges. He must leave for a meeting of kings, and he's concerned about the well-being of his two young kittens. After going to a pharmacist for a special prescription, the two drink an elixir and can hear Carbonel again-and all the other animals and insects around. I last read it was a library copy about 15 years ago.A year after setting Carbonel free from a witch's spell, teenagers Rosemary and John reunite to spend the summer together. This is the second volume in the middle grade-level Carbonel series.
