This is a fun read. Such a cute story. It is fast-paced. I can’t wait to see how the story progresses.

This is a cute and fast paced read! I enjoyed the cat symbolism and inclusion of mythology throughout the book

I love this story!
The history of Guardian Cats is reason enough to read this book. I still need to look up the story of Winstill Churchill and the ghost of Abe Lincoln.
I love the idea that "wherever there are demons, ghosts, and other presences in cahoots with the forces of darkness, a Guardian Cat will appear."

The rest is sheer fun. Timmy has to start a new school in a new town, in an old house said to be haunted, but his dad inherited it from his great-aunt.
If that wasn't enough to reel me in, the cat is.

The ancient furball appears to be a useless old lump on the sofa, and Timmy's parents plan to rehome the creature. "Everybody thinks we are useless, Whiskers," Timmy tells the old cat. "But they're wrong." He turns off the light. "In the corner, Whiskers' purring intensified."

I confess I have not made it to the end yet, having downloaded an ARC via NetGalley a short time ago, but I already know I love this, and if that should change, I will come back with a revision. For now I am on a mission to get my RAVE REVIEW out there before the archive date.

The Cat Who Chased Ghosts was a quick, short and suspenseful read.

The Thompsons have inherited an old and decaying house, and an equally old cat. When Timmy, the young Thompson kid, hears the rumors that his new house is haunted he decides to investigate.

Nic Minnella build up a spooky adventure with a good pace that hooked me up from the first to the last chapter.
I liked to see Timmy become more confident and daring throughout the story. I appreciated his loyalty to his new friends, and how he tries to not leave anyone behind.
I would have liked to see a little more on page growth of the characters and their relationships, but I'm looking forward to meet these characters again.

I recommend this novel to pre-teens or to the most courageous kids because ghosts could be scary.

A scruffy, matted orange tabby named Whiskers holds a centuries-old secret. Whiskers descends from an ancient lineage of mythical felines known as Guardian Cats. They are sworn to protect humans from ghosts and evil spirits. When Catherine and Robert Thompson inherit a creaky old house from Robert's great-aunt, they know that the house needs to be renovated. They find out that it is a considered a haunted hou by he community. Timmy is a spirited boy but dreads going to a (new) school. He ends up becoming friends with Jasper, a thirteen year boy who is very popular. Timmy's dismay, his parents view the aging cat as unsuitable for their family. Timmy accidentally discovers the cat's real powers and stumbles upon chilling presences lurking in the old house. When Jasper has disappeared exploring the attic for ghosts. Timmyhe must enlist the help of Whiskers and face a dangerous journey, risking everything to save his friend.

The author’s paranormal elements give this tale an intriguing look at cats. The story shows the loyalty and true friendship and not judging someone by their appearance. I enjoyed the novel because it shows cats in a different light. I also like that the author encourages adopting senior cats. It’s a novel that is mysterious and adventurous.

This was so cute, so lovely, so adorable!
I’d say, this is perfect for middle-graders who love spooky ghost stories, cats, and books with awesome art!

A cute and fun read I thoroughly engage. Well plotted, good storytelling.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

This book had me hooked from the first page! A twisty mystery, a hint of spookiness, and a clever cat sidekick—what’s not to love? The protagonist’s bond with her feline partner was equal parts heartwarming and hilarious, and the plot kept me guessing right up to the end.

Perfect for anyone who loves a cozy vibe with plenty of charm. Five stars from me! 🌟🐾
