About the Book:

The Magical Feline and the White Haven is a heart-warming story about Justin, a gifted, mildly autistic boy and his two friends, Jonathan and Jolene. Each child deals with personal challenges of their own, but through the power of friendship and the help of a little magic, they discover the strength to confront and overcome the unforgettable plight that changes their lives.

One hot summer day, the three friends and Justin's cat go on a picnic into the woods. As the children head home from their outing, they find Sam, a frightened little girl, hiding behind some bushes.

In their attempt to help this young girl, the children unintentionally race back into the woods. By this time, night has fallen, and they are alone in the forest running from a malicious man intent on hurting Sam and her family. Through imagination, their relentless spirits, and a little magic, they overcome adversity and save Sam.
