What a wonderful story! Robin finds solace in the tale of a cat called Red. We follow Red through his adventures to find a home, and what scary adventures they are. It is beautifully written and with perfect drawings and sketches. Well recommended - a joy to read.
Maureen Gourlay, A LoveReading4Kids Ambassador
Eight-year-old Robin doesn’t like cats. When a strange cat turns up at his house, he ignores it. At first.
"But this was no ordinary cat. Setting aside the unusual colour of his fur and the piercing quality of his eyes, he had a third most extraordinary feature, and that was his purr..."
What if you found a cat with a magic purr? A cat whose purr could turn your life around?
If only you realized it.
This is Red’s story, of how he comes to be lost, and his exciting search for his forever home, that leads him on a perilous journey which may prove almost too much, even for him.
My Cat Called Red is a heartwarming adventure story by author Jane Lightbourne, a chapter book for children aged 7 to 11, about friendship and courage in the face of danger, featuring the magical cat Red and the purr that transforms children’s lives. A modern classic designed for younger readers that will also appeal to all ages.
