Varjak Paw

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.

Reviews

  • "A beguiling tale that sticks in the memory. The cat's whiskers"

    The Sunday Times

  • "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"

    Richard Adams, Author of Watership Down
