One-Eyed Cat
Overview & Summary
Eleven-year-old Ned secretly fires his father's forbidden air rifle one night and believes he may have blinded a wild cat that begins appearing near their rural New York home, and the guilt of this hidden act -- combined with his father's illness -- weighs on him throughout the following year. Paula Fox's Newbery Honor novel is a quiet, psychologically astute story about guilt, confession, and a boy's relationship with his father.
