“Dazzling.”—The New York Times
Mesopotamian Blue cat Varjak Paw has never been Outside before; he and his family have always lived in the isolated house at the top of the hill. But Varjak is forced out into the city when the sinister Gentleman and his two menacing cats take over his home. With help from his mystical ancestor, Jalal, Varjak manages to overcome challenges such as self-survival and a threat from the gangland cats, and he ultimately discovers the terrifying secrets behind the Vanishings. But can he save his own family from their fate?
“In the tradition of animal stories like Watership Down, SF Said’s dark allegorical tale introduces a pampered indoor cat who ventures “Outside” for the first time … As Said evokes the dangerous life of a cat fending for itself, he also weaves in elements of humor and legendary bravery, proving that growth stems from adversity.”—Publishers Weekly, Starred
