Bookroo's summary

Sara's world is filled with cats—pictures, toys, slippers—but never the real thing. Her father's mysterious ban on cats leaves her longing. When a fluffy kitten unexpectedly enters their home, Sara sees a chance to mend their fractured family. With only a week to sway her father's heart, can this tiny creature bring healing and hope? Discover the tender journey of love, loss, and the power of a small, furry miracle in a story told through lyrical verse.

From the publisher

Sara has always loved cats. She surrounds herself with pictures of cats, stuffed cats, even cat-headed slippers. But she s never been allowed to have a real cat of her own. Her father has always told her no, for reasons he won t explain. So when a fluffy snowball of a kitten darts through their front door and into her life, Sara believes her dream might finally come true. But convincing her father to break his strict No Cats policy seems impossible. She has less than a week to persuade him that this kitten is exactly what their lonely, broken family of two needs to heal. Told in lyrical, spare verse, Serendipity & Me is a sparkling novel that elegantly handles the topic of loss for a middle grade audience.”
