Mimi and the Ginger Princess
William Pasnak
Paperback
(Lorimer, Jan. 1, 1988)
Mimi Kiguchi loved cats. She didn't have a cat of her own, but she did make friends with every cat in her neighbourhood. So she was very upset and worried when she found Ricky Rutledge trying to throw a canvas bag over the newest cat on the street, and when she heard him talking about an "experiment". Mimi knew that the cat might be in real danger. But what could a small nine-year-old do against a big, tough, eleven-year-old kid like Ricky? One night, her grandfather read her a story, and Mimi got an idea that could just work...Mimi and the Ginger Princess is a charming story about a girl with strong, humane feelings, and about the courage they give her.
