Black and white line drawings illustrate each chapter.,For ages 8-12, grades 3-7.,A swashbuckling story of two very different cat brothers and their adventures at sea.,Cat brothers Cecil and Anton are as different as port and starboard. Cecil, stocky and black with white patches, thirsts for seafaring adventure as he roams the docks of his harborside home, taking day trips on fishing boats when the chance comes along. Slim, gray Anton prefers listening to the sailorsâ€™ shanties at the town saloon, venturing to port only for the dayâ€™s catch. But one day when Anton goes in search of fresh mackerel, heâ€™s stolen off the dock, and the next thing he knows, heâ€™s at sea.,Knowing little of the wide open ocean that lies beyond the harbor, Cecil boards another ship in hopes of finding Anton. But what begins as a rescue mission turns into a pair of high seas adventures, with thrills and danger bubbling under every wave.,Anton takes on a fierce rat, outwits hungry birds, and forges a forbidden friendship, while Cecil encounters dolphins and whales and finds himself in the middle of a pirate raid. On an ocean as vast as the one Anton and Cecil have discovered, will they see homeâ€”or each otherâ€”ever again?,Orange Prizeâˆ’winning author Valerie Martinâ€™s and Lisa Martinâ€™s colorful cast of characters, rich historical detail, and lyrical storytelling will delight fans of such classic animal adventures as ,The Wind in the Willows, Stuart Little, and Poppy.
