Upchuck and Tom are best friends of the feline type. They hang out together every day. It’s what cats do in a dog-eat-cat world. And there are a few dogs that would love to get their teeth into Upchuck and Tom.

Life is good until Upchuck’s owner, Katie, goes away to college. Then it gets even worse when Tom’s family moves away taking Tom with them!

Upchuck starts searching for a new friend, but is seems there are only the dogs that would like to get their teeth into Upchuck. Or a skunk. Or a cow…what kind of a conversation can you have with critters who stink or only know one word?

When Upchuck falls off a fence, into the yard of a huge beast with the name Rotten Willie, Upchuck finds things aren’t always what you think. As terrifying as the beast I, Upchuck learns there is another side to Rotten Willie and that they have something in common.

A short, fun, chapter book with some illustrations. Great to read aloud or quietly. Kid or adult. ( )

What do you get when a cat makes a mistake and gets renamed something even worse than Chuck? A book that'll charm you. I've recently been told there are more of the Upchuck and Willy books and I have definitely gotta give those a read now! I never knew and just assumed this a one off my whole childhood. ( )
