    I think the nine lives of travis keating was a great book! It really showed you how alone kids can be and that it is always good to have a friend. I think he could have been much nicer prinny because she was always nice to him. Adeline

    I think the nine lives of travis keating was a pretty good book. It had a really good plot and in a way it was a classic with the bully.

    I agree with Adeline because the book 'The Nine Lives Of Travis Keating' showed that you can always have a good friend! Also I agree with Kyra because I felt like this was a very classic story with a bully that was a bit non-creative but at the same time it was creative how he found the cats and such! Alice :D

    I agree with Alice when she said how creative it was when Travis found the cats. My favourite character was Prinny because she was very brave, considering the circumstances she was in. I think it was very sweet of Travis to stand up for Hud, after how mean Hud was to Travis.

    This book was a great book because it shows when you move to a new town and you are new you can always have a good friend.It was really brave of him to go to the Gulley Cove because they say it was haunted so no one would go there and also it was really brave of him to take care of the cats when they got abandon.I agree with Kyria when she said it was very sweet of Travis to stand up for Hud, after how mean Hud was to Travis because sometime when a person gets bullied they never stand up for the bully.My favourite character is Travis because he was very brave to take care of the cats and stand up for Hud.I think they should make this into a movie because it is a very interesting story and a great one too.

    I LOVED this book!
    I thought the whole story was so amazing, how Travis went to Gulley Cove everyday just to care for the cats! I thought that was really sweet of him.
    I can relate to Travis because I would've done the exact same thing! I also would've kept it secret like he did.
    I have two cats of my own and I LOVE them SOOO much.
    GREAT BOOK!

    I think that "The nine lives of Travis Keeting" was a very touching book. It's amazing to know that even if you don't like someone you can still work with them and stand up for them. Out of all the characters in the book i adored Prinny, I don't know how she could stand her parents especially her dad who sent her mom away, and even with all her problems she still took the time to help Travis feed the cats.

    I realy enjoyed reading "The Nine Lives Of Travis Keating" although it wasn't the greatest start. When I got into the book, I thought it was very kind for him to feed the cats even though it wasn't his. I also agree with Kristen, I just adored Prinny, she doesn't really deserve parents like, I couldn't stand that! She let nothing stop her into feeding the cats. All in All this book was very touching and exciting as well. Jenny

    I really liked this book because of how a good friend Prinny is, she helped Travis feed the cats. I agree Vincent it was actually brave of him to go to Gully Cove all by himself. Harrison

    I agree with everyone who said it had a good message, because it does but I didn't quite get hooked on this book. I think it's just not my type of book.

    I loved this story becauseit's so realistic.A new kid comes into town and the school bully starts bullying the new kid and a miracle happens.Felix (at the end of the story)crawls onto Travis like a dog and purrs.It's a miracle because Felix never got that close to Travis.

    I likes this book a lot and like what Jenny said the beginning wasn't the best and then it just got more exciting. It was amazing knowing that when you work with somebody you're not fond of something that you both care about will bring you closer. Also like what Jenny and Kristen said Prinny was my favorite character and didn't deserve a dad like that after everything she does for him.

    This book is one of the best! I was so sad though!! I think this book deserves to win! I really liked the characters because they all fit into the story well. I thought that Travis was really nice for going to help the cats. I am very glad that all the cats got a safe home at the end.

    Is there really another book by Jill Maclean?
    If there is I so want to read it!!! I'm a big fan of the Nine Lives so I'll probably be a big fan of her other books too!! I hope Travis is in the next book if it is still on the topic of cats for all I know it could be about something totally different. Anyways, REALLY excited for the new book.

    In the book "Nine Lives of Travis Keating" I liked how Travis was so caring and wanted to help the cats. This is because some people would call the shelter and Travis did not. Travis made sure they were feed, had a good shelter, and protection from many things. He also found good homes for all the cats. Kayleigh
