The Core Fulcrum

2019 | Children

In an enchanted world not far from here, curious cats and kittens enjoy a privileged life. They build houses, go to school, learn ‘mewgical’ lessons, and meet unusual creatures. They have nine lives. Prehistorically, they were revered as divine beings, and they still haven't forgotten that. Everything seems hunky-dory but what if their world is about to collapse? What if the source of their enchantment gets stolen by unforeseen enemies? Enter the scene, two rambunctious but brave kittens Goldie and Snowball, the go-to heroes from Mew Sienna, always up for a challenge. They encounter constant hurdles from their opponents though, who would like to see them fail. With the help of their friends, will they learn how to navigate strange territories around them, wage a battle, and unravel secrets lying buried for years? Will they successfully find their most precious object in the world before time runs out? Their ruthless enemies will stop at nothing to dethrone them and become omnipotent.Mostly elegant, sometimes a hilarious mess, these kittens get entangled in intriguing adventures, apparently unaware that 'curiosity kills the cat'

Honest Review for Free Copy of Book
The Core Fulcrum by Prashanti Talluri has multiple details that made me think it was largely inspired by Harry Potter. The school has rooms that move daily which were a big reminder of Harry Potter but there were multiple little things as well.

 Snowball and Goldie are two kittens that have just started the fifth grade. Like the school's humans are used to there are classes that everyone has to take an optional class. It is one of these optional classes that Snowball, Goldie, and some of their friends choose that sends them on an amazing and scary adventure. They all choose to take part in the class called “Curiosity Kills the Cat”, but so does their class bully Hisky.

 In this class, after passing a test they learn of the Core Fulcrum. They learn that the Core Fulcrum is a powerful artifact that is responsible for all the cat’s extraordinary abilities. The problem is that the Core Fulcrum is missing and that could cause major issues for all cats unless it is found soon. Their solution is to enlist the help of kittens in school to join the dangerous search for this all-important item. Can they find it before it it's too late and the rats figure out how to use it?

 I like how it acknowledges how cats essentially got their independence from humans (although I can’t help but wonder what happened to the people). It was also interesting how the casts and rats have created separate kingdoms from each other and even seem to war with each other to some extent. Honestly things like the snakes that bite their tails to function as seat belts just seemed a bit farfetched, along with busses that seem to be living animals at the same time (or maybe just created to mimic animal abilities, I am not sure). Then there was how the cats were in harnesses to practice for their version of the Olympics yet they were going through tunnels without getting tangled and finishing in around fifteen seconds seemed unrealistic even for cats.

 This is a children's book all the way. I don’t think may people past middle school would be all that interested in it or find it very enjoyable. It may even be questionable for some middle school readers. It all depends on how well a reader can accept the strangeness of this book. I rate this book 2 out of 4. This is because the base story is good but the details just felt awkward. I just don’t think anyone but younger readers are going to be into it. I could be wrong though.
