It's Like This, Cat
David lives in New York City with his asthmatic mother and sometimes overbearing lawyer father. He gets Cat from the cat-lady neighbor, meets a girl, a burglar (of sorts, not really), and has fights with his friend. Interesting look at the neighborhoods of New York. A gentle book. Newbery Medal winner in 1963.

The Time Traveler's Wife
A guy goes back and forth in time. Lots and lots of tears. Lots of great quotes, I'll just pick this one.
Quote : Really, the Field ought to get more serious about security. I don't feel too terrible about doing this; after all, I'm a bona fide librarian.

Charlie Bone and the Beast
Charlie apparently located his father, FINALLY, in book five, which I haven't read yet, as the public library deigns to have it available. This is book six. Asa has disappeared, Charlie gets a hot kettle, finds a sacred sword hilt, and there's a boy who smells like fish.

Charlie Bone and the Invisible Boy
I didn't read Book Two yet, but in this, Book Three, Charlie STILL hasn't figured out the obvious, that it, who his father is, but he DOES help invisible Ollie find his way back normalcy, and HIS family, so all in all, a good job.

Midnight For Charlie Bone
First in the Children Of The Red King series. Charlie is sent off to the mostly awful Bloor Academy and restores a girl who is memory is clouded. I feel like shouting, "Charlie, the quiet and confused piano teacher is probably your missing father!!!" Charlie hasn't figured it out by the end of book one, maybe he will get a clue, in book two. Hey, it rhymes!
