This was a sweet book telling about the friendship between Fraser, a young autistic boy and his rescue cat Billy. His mother tells us about how he struggled as a young boy, with limited communication, difficulties with his walking and movement and lots of frustration and temper tantrums unless his rigid routines were followed. With a young baby girl, they were struggling with how to deal with Fraser and how to reach him and help him cope with life.
With an older cat who was scared of Frasers screaming and crying, they decided to adopt a younger cat, and enter Billy who right from the start stuck by Billys side and was able to help him. His ability to calm Fraser down and reassure him is truly amazing, and I loved all the stories about their friendship. An awesome bond that is truly special. 4/5

The bond between human - especially human child - and animal can be astonishing.
