SynopsisProduct Details

Everyone who came across the strange gym class was looking for something else. What they found was Mrs Powell, with her silent feet, unnerving stare and merciless warm-up exercises. What they found was pashki, a lost art from an age when cats were worshipped as gods. But Ben and Tiffany wonder: who is their eccentric old teacher? What does she really want? And why can they suddenly see in the dark?

Meanwhile, in London’s gloomy streets, human vermin are stirring. Ben and Tiffany may soon be glad of their new gifts. But against men whose cunning is matched only by their unspeakable cruelty, would even nine lives be enough?

‘Cat Kin is one of the most original middle-grade novels I’ve ever read. And it’s suspenseful, intelligent, and just plain fun… young readers will find [it] amazing and inspirational. Highly recommended.’  — Kelly Herold, children’s literary critic

Heart-thumping action… Pleasurable and charming… I found myself laughing out loud on many occasions… a story that both children and adults will love… Outstanding.’ — Gloomwing reviews
