Description

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.
