The Story of Blitzcat
This book tells an amazing story from the eyes of a black cat named Lord Gort. Imagine seeing the world through a cat's eyes! Lord Gort is on a big adventure across England.
The story takes place during a time called the Blitz. This was when many cities in England were bombed during World War II. It was a very scary time for people and animals.
Lord Gort's owner is a pilot in the RAF. The RAF was the air force of the United Kingdom. They defended the country from air attacks. Lord Gort misses her owner very much and is determined to find him.
As Lord Gort travels, she sees many things. The book shows what it was like during the bombings, especially during the terrible bombing of Coventry. It's a powerful look at history through a unique perspective.
