Malkin Moonlight
Publisher: Bloomsbury
Malkin Moonlight is given his wonderful name by the Moon, who also tells the tiny black kitten that he is destined for great things. Following his sixth sense, he is drawn to Roux - a lovely domestic kitten, the colour of smoke - and the two soon fall in love.
When Roux's family decide to move, Roux chooses to stay with Malkin, which means the two cats must find a new home where they can live together safely. The recycling centre seems like the perfect place - but little do they know, a war is coming. And it's a war that will see Malkin fulfil his destiny.
This charming, magical story reads like a classic. It is beautifully written and populated with fabulous characters. Malkin is a fantastic protagonist: caring, inquisitive and sensitive. It is no wonder that this won the National Literacy Trust's New Children's Author Prize.

A fantastic story with suspense at every page corner. A very lovely Main character that is very inclusive.

This is one of my favourite books, my favourite part would be the when Malkin ,on his third life, the wild cats falls in love with the house cat Roux and it shows two opposite can still show love. It is very nice when Roux is ruined when his owners move but ends up living with with Malkin
