They fight vampires and flood, hunt goblins and cockroaches, confront UFOs and aliens from outer space, cope with apartment ghosts, picnic in Central Park, write a musical, and sing show tunes with the pigeons on the fire escape because my teenage daughter Annabelle wants to be a Broadway star. Thatch may be afraid of his own shadow, but he loves his sister and happily supports her theatrical aspirations.
However, there is a catch. Annabelle is a young gray tabby, and Thatch is an orange and white kitten. Curious and loquacious, they are savvy New Yorkers, living on West 82nd Street with their daddy, a grumpy, semi-retired music arranger and editor. Their adventures are quirky, whimsical, outrageous, funny, sometimes touching and sentimental, and full of heart.
Annabelle & Thatch is a humorous novel for adults and/or young adults about the adventures of Annabelle and her little brother Thatch on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.
