The Boy and the Samurai

The last book I was reading was The Cobra Effect, ended up dropping this book because I did not want to read about the horrible deaths of people by diseases. The new book I chose was The Boy and the Samurai by Erik Christian Haugaard. The beginning of this book is very depressing because is about a young boy because an orphan by loosing his dad in a war and how he lives in these horrible conditions. But he was able to get a cat companion and they are like family. The most memorable moment of the book so far was when he jumped in front of an arrow to save his cats life. This is sort of weird for me because I can’t imagine risking my life for a cat.
