Murphy and Mousetrap

Olsen, Sylvia 1955- (author.).

Summary: Murphy and his cat, Mousetrap, never expected to end up back on the reserve. Although he belongs to the First Nation, Murphy is sure that he won't fit in, and he worries about Mousetrap who has always been an indoor cat. When a bunch of local boys drag him to their soccer practice, put him in goal and pelt him with balls, he believes that his worst fear has come true. But he seems to be discovering a new talent at the same time. And perhaps he has misjudged. Being a light-skinned city boy thrust onto a reserve far from the city is not easy, but maybe Murphy has what it takes.
