After school yesterday, Jacob wrote volume one of his newest series, "Sam the Cat." The first book is appropriately entitled, "Sam the Cat #1: The First Night."
It's a multi-chapter book that begins as such:
Chapter 1
The New Kitten
"We arrived at my mom's friend's house and picked up a little kitten we named Sam. We rode home with the cat. He struggled and walked in the car. I was starting to like this kitten myself, but could he survive Andrew? I could hope."
Chapter 2
Trouble
"So we went in the house and Sam found out the only problem. Andrew found out about the cat."
Chapter 3
Greg Meets the Cat
"I went to tell Greg about the cat. He was filleting fish, so he came in and we played with the cat."
That's where he inserted this lovely picture of me (note the arrow) yelling, "Andrew stop that!" while Andrew (note the other arrow) is hitting the kitten:
Chapter 4
Bed Time
"So we set up Sam's bedroom and he curls up and goes to sleep."
The End.
I don't know about all of you, but I found this to be a gripping and poignant tale about the love between a young boy and his cat, markedly contrasted by the darkness lurking inside the younger brother. Will the cat survive? One can only hope.
Compelling. Spellbinding. A book you won't want to put down! I can't wait for the next edition!

HAHAHA! I LOVE IT! Especially the end of chapter 1 and chapter 2!
I love the picture of me yelling "Andrew stop that!" And I also love that he says Greg was filleting fish when we got home with the cat! It's true - he had been on an all day fishing trip and was out back filleting fish! And it's also true that Andrew is Sam's biggest threat! I really can't wait for the next installment!
