A retelling of the story of Exodus set in ancient China, in which a nation of formerly enslaved cats attain a homeland and learn to live in it peaceably, under the guidance of their wise leader, a Kung Fu master who travels far and wide--as far as the Milky Way--to serve her kind.
Book Review and Awards
"It's a cross between a parable and a history, an earnestly told folk tale... In the weird tradition of Jonathan Swift, Lewis Carroll and Frank L. Baum, we have The Exodus. With Cats. It's amazing, actually." Tanita Davis, Finding Wonderland. May 19, 2015 "That Bortz created this alternate cat universe and aligned it so elaborately with the backdrop of Exodus is nothing short of inspired." Stephanie Butnick, Tablet Magazine, April 1, 2015 "An outstanding novella that can be confidently recommended for young readers--and older readers who appreciate a finely honed original story that will linger in the mind and memory long after it has been finished and set back upon the shelf" Reviewer's Choice, Children's Bookwatch: May 2015
