This is an action packed adventure story with plenty of comedy and a plot that twists like a cat's tail. The action kicks-off on the first day of the school holidays ...
All 13-year-old Jack Harrier wants is to spend the summer getting to know his dad, Hugo, a food scientist at GUZZLE Global Foods.
All Hugo Harrier wants is to help cats live longer by creating the world's most nutritious cat food.
But everything goes horribly wrong because Hugo's Best Ever Cat Food Formula has an unforeseen side effect: it makes cats talk like humans.
When the GUZZLE boss, Mr Gizard wants to use it to make £ trillions by exploiting the world's cat owners, Hugo refuses to co-operate and Gizard takes him hostage.
So Jack has to rescue his dad AND protect the only copy of the Formula AND smuggle Hugo's talking cats to safety. And he doesn't know how to do any of it!
A mysterious girl called Marvelle arrives in the nick of time. She has a Plan and a talent for turning household objects into weapons. Teaming up to fight Gizard and his gang of thugs, Jack and Marvelle find their courage is severely tested. Gizard becomes more ruthless with each encounter until the teenagers are fighting for their lives.
Meanwhile, the talking cats are thinking up strategies to outwit Gizard. They also reveal some feline secrets: who knew that cats had their own legends that date back to the dawn of history? As you read this story, you will be one of the first humans to hear about Old Mac - the cat spirit that lurks unseen in doorways, ready to pounce on a teenager in trouble.
