Books with title Henry 3

From dust jacket: "Henry 3 didn't want it known, the percent he was. But Fletcher Larkin knew. He'd heard Dokstra mention it - 154%. Practically a natural born genius....So that was it. Somebody always found out. And that was the end. In a way it had never mattered, how much they'd moved around because of his dad's job; he'd never had any friends to miss anyway. But this time he had wanted it to be different because they might stay in Crestview. That is if the whole family pitched in and did right, and his father really got to be vice-president....Henry was wrong. They didn't find out. Fletch, who everybody hated anyway, had not told. And for once he did have some friends. The family did right too, made the right impressions on the right people. And Pa did get to be vice-president....It was only after, Herny found his family had been sold a bill of goods - that what they'd worked for, he and his family, weren't important when you came right down to it. That's when Fletcher Larkin was important, and percent didn't matter at all..".

The story you are about to read is true. Henry was a feral cat who attached himself to us, yet it took eight years to tame him, to make him realise he had nothing to fear from us, to trust us and finally to become "our Henry".The story is written from the cat's point of view and writing it down, I was Henry. I felt his fears, his loneliness - but most of all his capacity to love.And boy - did he love!
