WHEN FRASER MET BILLY: HOW THE LOVE OF A CAT TRANSFORMED A LITTLE BOY’S LIFE
Book ID/图书代码： 00200012B58295
English Summary/英文概要： There was a great deal of interest in this title from publishers I met with. At this stage I don’t have material to send out, but I have attached a detailed synopsis for publishers to look at. This book is ghost written by the same person who has done Marley and Me and A Streetcat Named Bob and I think is set to be a huge hit in the UK and elsewhere.
Fraser was a severely autistic four-year-old boy. Born with a range of conditions, he was prone to anxiety and sudden emotional meltdowns over seemingly the most trivial things. Day-to-day life in the Booth household, on the Queen’s Balmoral Estate, was desperate and difficult. To Fraser’s mother Louise, the future looked bleak. But then, as she explains, Fraser met Billy, a remarkable grey and white rescue cat. Billy had his own troubles – he’d been abandoned by his owners – but the friendship the two found in each other was to transform both their lives.
Billy’s boisterous, maverick personality brought happiness and laughter to a family that had been starved of both. Constantly at Fraser’s side, Billy’s calming effect brought the beginning of a normal life. Breakthroughs began to happen – to start with they were small, but taken together they felt nothing short of a miracle. Louise’s tale of Billy and Fraser will make you laugh as well as cry and ultimately rejoice at the power of the bond between a child and his cat.

弗雷泽是一名四岁的小男孩，同时也是一名重度自闭症患者。由于出生环境的种种影响，他极易产生焦虑情绪，或者在某些看似极为细微的事件上情绪失控。日复一日的生活在坐落在女皇在巴尔勒莫尔地区的囚笼一般的家里，他感到生活既绝望又艰难。对于弗雷泽的母亲路易莎而言，未来同样一片凄凉。然而很快，路易莎便会告诉我们弗雷泽与比利有了初次的相遇，比利是一只有着漂亮的灰白毛发的救援猫。比利也有它自己的烦恼，他刚刚被主人抛弃---正因如此，一人一猫间所建立起的友情才改变了对方的生活。
比利喧闹却又独立的性格为这个家庭带来了快乐与欢声笑语，这一变化令双方都惊奇不已。而对弗雷泽而言，比利冷静的影响力持续影响着他，帮助他回到正常的生活中。从此，一切开始悄然转变---故事从一人一猫的童年时代叙述起，很快的双方都不得不承认，这一切简直有如奇迹一般。路易莎的故事将会令你笑声不断，但与此同时又潸然泪下，而最终，这个孩子与猫咪之间的紧密联结定会让你为之感到喜悦与高兴。（DC）
