The Amber Cat by Hilary McKay

The Amber Cat by Hilary McKay - 134 pages

Robin's mother shares stories of the summer her friends Nick and Charley stayed with her and they met the girl Harriet on the beach. 
I picked up this book as I love Hilary McKay's Casson Family series.  I was hoping that I would enjoy her earlier books as much.  While this book was interesting, I did not find it nearly as enjoyable as the others.  It is a much slighter story without a lot of the characterization she puts into the Casson series.  It would make a good suggestion for kids who are wanting a non-scary ghost story though.
