This cat must learn to fight! Varjak Paw is a Mesopotamian Blue kitten, who lives high up in an old house on a hill. He's never left home, until he receives a mysterious visit from his grandfather who 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.
With stunning illustrations from acclaimed graphic artist Dave McKean, this award-winning story has become a modern classic. A celebration of friendship, loyalty and difference, Varjak Paw is an adventure like no other.
Pickled Pepper Guest Bookseller Tasneem Abdur-Rashid says: "This is the only book my 10-year-old has read twice - that's how much he loves it! Varjak begins as a sheltered cat who thinks his family is superior, but his journey forces him to confront prejudice, difference and belonging, while learning that friendship and loyalty matter more than status or heritage."
