Reviews
Middle of Nowhere "The character dynamics are just right throughout ... Adderson's success here is the subtly realistic tone (with comic notes) through the heavy moments and the moral conundrums." -- The Horn Book "Thoughtful, eventful and sharply realized, this poetic novel celebrates the resourcefulness of both the young and the old. Excellent fare." -- Toronto Star "What could easily have become a heavy-handed tale of desperation is anything but thanks to Adderson's ability to maintain a thread of humour throughout. The beauty of her delivery is that the comedy is never forced; rather, it is found in small, subtle moments - the kind readers will recognize as genuine." -- Quill & Quire (Book of the Year citation) A Simple Case of Angels "Characters are gloriously quirky... the angelic twist at the conclusion is satisfyingly appropriate and more about human goodness than evangelizing--entirely in keeping with the book." -- Kirkus "Though Adderson brings a light touch to some serious grown-up problems ... in this whimsical novel, she doesn't shy away from probing the real-world problems familiar to children. ... A sweet but never saccharine story." -- Booklist, Praise for Caroline Adderson and The Mostly True Story of Pudding Tat, Adventuring Cat: Nominee Chocolate Lily Book Award -- Chapter Book/Early Novels, 2020 "In her latest middle-grade novel, Caroline Adderson blends the right mix of history and fiction while crafting a story of cooperation, resilience, and bravery . . . Pudding Tat is a modest and heartfelt, albeit accidental, hero." -- Quill & Quire "For middle-grade readers, nothing could be better than the delightfully madcap and thrilling adventures of Pudding Tat in Caroline Adderson's playful romp." -- Globe and Mail "[A]n inventive and creative tale." -- CM Reviews Praise for Caroline Adderson and Middle of Nowhere: "The character dynamics are just right throughout ...

Synopsis
The delightful adventures of a visually impaired barn cat and his annoying flea, as they set off to experience the world and find themselves participants in some of the most remarkable events of the early 20th century. Full color., The delightful adventures of a visually impaired barn cat and his annoying flea, as they set off on an adventure to experience the world., The delightful adventures of a visually impaired barn cat and his annoying flea, as they set off to experience the world and find themselves participants in some of the most remarkable events of the early twentieth century. Pudding Tat is born on the Willoughby Farm in 1901 -- just another one of Mother Tat's kittens. But it turns out that Pudding is anything but ordinary. He is pure white with pink eyes that, though beautiful, do not see well, and hearing that is unusually acute. He finds himself drawn to the sweet sounds of the world around him -- the pattering heartbeat of a nearby mouse, the musical tinkling of a distant stream. Soon the sounds of adventure call to Pudding, too. But before he can strike out into the wide world on his own, he hears a voice -- coming from right inside his own ear. A flea has claimed Pudding as his host. The bossy parasite demands that Pudding take him away from the lowly barn and the drunken singing of his fellow fleas. He doesn't want adventure but a finer life -- one where he can enjoy a warm bed and blood flavored not with mice, but with beef tenderloin and cream. Fortunately for this mismatched pair, the world is an extremely interesting place in 1901. Over the next decade and a half, Pudding and his flea find themselves helping to make history -- a journey over Niagara Falls in a barrel, a visit to the Pan-American Exposition on the day President McKinley is shot, a luxurious stay in Manhattan with songwriter Vincent Bryan, a terrifying trip on the airship America , and a voyage on the ill-fated Titanic . Through each narrow escape, the call to adventure for the cat, and luxury for his disgruntled flea, beckons them on, right to the devastation of a World War I battlefield. Then Pudding is filled with a new longing, one that brings him, with his flea's help now, full circle and back home.
