Review of Mister Pushkin Turns Over A New Leaf
[Following is a volunteer review of "Mister Pushkin Turns Over A New Leaf" by AC Michael.]
Mister Pushkin Turns Over a New Leaf, written by AC Michael, follows the mischievous feline Mister Pushkin and his human, Klem, as they enter a new season. This is another installation in the Mister Pushkin series and contains twelve short stories featuring the sassy cat. It is not necessary to read the original stories in order to enjoy these. In each story, Mister Pushkin tries to be good, but can’t quite seem to stay out of trouble. He chases bullying geese, saves other cats, mice, and hedgehogs, and wanders away from his home at one point only to be found fifty miles away at Klem’s boss’ house, cleverly securing Klem a pay raise. If you’re looking to see the world through the eyes of a pure bred, intelligent cat who, of course, is never wrong, look no further.
I genuinely have only positives for this book. The character of Mister Pushkin is adorably feisty. He, of course, is always right and he makes sure that Klem knows it, too. The chaos that follows Mister Pushkin wherever he goes is wholesome entertainment. He always has his reasons for the actions he takes and the destruction he causes. Despite his attitude, Mister Pushkin’s character has loving qualities. He even goes so far as to throw himself out of his window in an attempt to save another cat’s life.
His human, Klem, and Klem’s friend, Emma, both add to the quality of the stories and have active roles. It’s nice to see how sweet they are to each other and how much they understand not just one another, but Mister Pushkin, as well. Additionally, the author does a wonderful job creating the autumn atmosphere. The scenic descriptions are sometimes as subtle as the fog from Mister Pushkin’s breath and the warmth of a bonfire. The author does a lovely job forming these scenes and they make me feel as if I’m right there with Mister Pushkin, Klem, and Emma as fall begins, the weather changes, and the holidays approach.
As I stated, I found no negatives with the stories or the layout of the book. I also found no typos and believe the book was professionally edited. There was no inappropriate content or strong language of any sort.
Due to the overwhelming positivity and the wholesome nature of this book, I rate it four out of four stars.
Although I believe this book is marketed towards children, I would recommend it to readers of any age. Even adults would benefit from the playful nature of Mister Pushkin and his adventures with Klem.
