The group reaches the ancient chamber at the bottom of the old tunnels. The ghost ferrets are everywhere, but they aren't attacking. Something is keeping them back, and it isn't fear. Deep in the chamber they find Sable. The cat sits perfectly still with pitch black eyes where green ones used to be. When Calla raises her lamp, Sable's shadow on the wall is not a cat's shadow. It is enormous. Horned. Spreading its arms wide across the stone like it owns everything. And then Sable opens her mouth and speaks ... in a voice that has never belonged to any cat ... and says the witch's own true name. Gripping screen-free entertainment for kids ages 6-11 during car rides and bedtime listening.

Series: Calla and the Rat City | Episode 5 of 6

Calla returns to the witch with difficult news: Sable is alive, but something is very wrong with her. The witch heals Calla's wounds — which had been turning black at the edges in a dangerous way — and then starts packing her bag. The witch is coming down into the tunnels herself. She also hands Calla a light rod: a dark wooden stick with a crystal tip that produces a blinding flash and stops shadow creatures cold. At midnight the full group gathers and descends. Whatever has been directing the ghost ferrets and keeping Sable underground is about to meet all of them at once. Thrilling screen-free entertainment for kids ages 6-11 during car rides and bedtime listening.

Series: Calla and the Rat City | Episode 4 of 6

Calla and a small team of rats venture into the ancient tunnels beneath Rat City to find the witch's missing cat. The ghost ferrets are waiting for them. The creatures attack from every direction at once, silent, fast, impossible to track in the dark. Calla fights back with a pocket knife and a lamp and it is not nearly enough. She gets badly scratched before the rats pull her out, the wounds turning black at the edges in a way that is not good. But just before she escapes, she spots something deep in the tunnel: Sable the cat, sitting perfectly still and watching. Not scared. Not hurt. Calm. Perfect for kids ages 6-11 during car rides and bedtime listening.
