Summary

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.

Great story and characters.

Loved this. The narration was brilliant with such good character voices. The story has so many layers with real adventure , good lessons in being ones own person but no feeling of moralising. Super listen for children and adults.

Reading this book as a teacher supporting reading writing. The children in my class I am sure will be inspired by this wonderful narrative.

Wanna be a cat?

This book lets you climb inside the society of cats. I love Varjak. It was great chasing the gang around the streets.

Marvellous!

My daughter and I loved this book and listened to it several times. Total escapism, beautifully narrated. The characters were brilliant and this story will be talked about for years in our house.

Modern Classic

The story of Varjak Paw begins in a mansion, where he lives with his pampered family. But things change when a stranger appears on the scene with 2 menacing black cats. We follow Varjak's journey as he leaves the comfort and safety of the mansion and enters the dangerous world of the city. However, Varjak is no ordinary cat. He is helped by visions of his ancestor, who teachers his how to hunt and how to fight. We follow him on his exciting adventures, where he meets new friends and battles new enemies. This is an engaging tale that will delight and enthral children and adults alike.

The audio version of the book is brought vividly to life by the late Andrew Sachs. Loved his voice as gave a different voice to all the characters in the book. He really made the characters come alive!
