About this book

Tabitha Flair has made an exciting discovery: when she steps into the tiny shed at the bottom of her garden, she is transported to the magical planet of Whiskery Paw, home of the Star Kitties. Each cat has a particular skill, such as Fashion Kitty, Claudelius La Frock, who creates the most exquisite garments, and Flora Wilde, the Forest Kitty, who looks after the plants, including magical starflowers, whose blooms fly up into the sky to become twinkling stars.  

Today is Tabitha’s birthday and she can’t wait to celebrate with her feline friends. However, when she arrives, Whiskery Paw is in disarray, as Queen Moggaline has disappeared! Thankfully, Detective Kitty Purrlock Holmes is already on the case, although as Tabitha helps him to follow the clues, she begins to question his investigative methods.  

This enchanting tale is packed full of endearing characters, gentle humour and delightful, two-colour illustrations. A map of Whiskery Paw and an introduction to the main kitties at the start of the book will help children to visualise the setting and characters. Ideal for independent readers, it is the first book in a new series from the creator of Amelia Fang, Marnie Midnight and Rainbow Grey.
