Product Information

With the children, develop a framework for a suspense story that is based on one of Varjak’s adventures in the city. Wow, that is amazing! Thank you so much for your kind words, Adam! There will definitely be a third Varjak book one day; in the meantime, I hope you'll try my new book Phoenix. It might look very different on the surface - humans and aliens, instead of cats and dogs - but I think it has many of the same themes & ideas underneath it all... I just want to wish all my readers Happy Midwinter! My new book Tyger is set at Midwinter, around about now, but in a strange alternate world where there is no Christmas, but there is Midwinter... and this year, Midwinter Night falls on the night of December 21st.

It's not about Varjak Paw, but if you like the Varjak books, I hope you'll like it too...Incredible news - my new book Tyger has just won the Children's Fiction Book Of The Year at the British Book Awards!

I hope you'll enjoy my other books too!
