About this listen

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.

Critic reviews

A beguiling tale that sticks in the memory. The cat's whiskers
Stylish, original and inventive, Varjak Paw is a modern children's classic
Dazzling
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
The cat magic mystique is brilliant (Richard Adams)
An engrossing and exciting story, handsomely produced with superbly atmospheric illustrations by an acclaimed mixed media artist.

A really good story which we all enjoyed listening to in the car. I ended up letting my six year old stay up far too late so that I could hear the end!
Really good narration and we particularly liked the way he voiced the dog character.

Great story and narration
