About this ebook

The second adventure in the life of the extraordinary Mesopotamian Blue, Varjak Paw: kung fu for cats!

Having saved the city cats from a fate worse than death, Varjak Paw finds himself the elected and popular leader of a new gang - a gang that supports freedom and kindness for all. But will the pressure take its toll on this brave yet sometimes naive cat?

Soon the city erupts in an all-out gang war as the evil Sally Bones attempts to control the lives of all cats. Horrified and outnumbered, Varjak and the others must fight for their freedom or die trying; can Jalal's Way really be the best way?

This is another thrilling adventure, eagerly awaited by all Varjak fans, both young and old.

Winner of the Blue Peter Award in 2007

Ratings and reviews

I love this book and it is a perfect sequel to Varjak Paw. It is SF Said at his best and that's saying something. I have read the first book and let me just say that it is simply entertaining to read and enjoy. If you have to read a book for school and you hate reading, this book will make you think twice!

When I was in p6 my teacher read them both to us are class loved them so much we wrote to him and we got a letter back!

I have the first one but meh mum had a go at me for no reason and said she won't buy me it 😲
