What to expect
Varjak Paw is a Mesopotamian Blue kitten. He lives high up in an old house on a hill. He's never left home, but then his grandfather tells him about the Way - a secret martial art for cats.
Now Varjak must use the Way to survive in a city full of dangerous dogs, cat gangs and, strangest of all the mysterious Vanishings.
Critics Review
-
A beguiling tale that sticks in the memory. The cat’s whiskers
The Sunday Times -
Stylish, original and inventive, Varjak Paw is a modern children’s classic
-
Dazzling
The New York Times -
The book is compulsive reading; we are with Varjak every step of his way, willing him to succeed. Independent readers of 9 upwards will treasure it, not least for its illustrations, and some will camp out on the publisher’s doorstep for the sequel
Ann Hay, The School Librarian -
The cat magic mystique is brilliant
