The Alchemist's Cat Author: Robin Jarvis  Review by: Maria Jose Linares Will Godwin, a young boy, lost his family and set out to find an uncle he never met. His companion, Mr Balker gets murdered so young Will is forced to stay as an alchemist's assistant. One day he finds a family of cats at a churchyard and taking pity on them, takes them to the apothecary. The alchemist, Dr Spittle, takes the oldest and strongest kitten as his apprentice and names him Jupiter. He also names the runt Leech because of his horrible looks. The female kitten is named Dab by Will. There in the apothecary unfolds a chilling story of death, murder and mystery. I would seriously recommend this book.
