The Mystery Cat

Amy Wild, Animal talker #3

by Diana Kimpton

Welcome to the wonderful world of Amy Wild, an entire island just squeaking and squawking with animal magic, where one little girl has a very special secret - she can talk to animals! A storm has hit the Island and left Amy with a problem - a playful ginger cat who's lost his home, and his memory. Amy is determined to look after the mystery cat, but with her family gearing up for the grand opening of their tea room, the last thing she needs is his naughty antics getting her into trouble. She really needs to track down his owners...and when she does, there's a big surprise in store that could save the day in more ways than one. Ever wondered what your pet is really thinking? Animal lovers everywhere will be instantly enchanted by this "Dr. Doolittle" for a new generation.

About the author

I'm the author of more than forty books, including my successful Pony-Mad Princess series. I write for adults as well as children. and many of my books have been translated into other languages. My Amy Wild - Animal Talker series is popular in Japan, and the Japanese editions look fantastic.

I've always been pony-mad so it's not surprising that my favourite animals feature in many of my books. I even used my research for "There Must Be Horses" as an excuse to buy the horse I had always dreamed of owning. He's a Haflinger so he's a palomino who gets fat really easily.

I've recently started writing books to help other writers. "Plots and Plotting: how to create stories that work" has just been published, and I'm currently working on a sequel called "Scenes and Sentences". I'm also in the process of writing two more Amy Wild books so I'm very busy at the moment.

Reviews

[Zvezdi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Книгата ми напомни защо не искам (котка за) домашно животно. Цялата история Ейми се справя с пакостите на спасения от нея загубен котарак Мѝстери, който страда и от загуба на паметта. Накрая има невероятна награда за нейните самоотвержени усилия. Като в детска книжка.

Бонус: имаме нова скоропоговоркa "празен панер за пране" (в който Ейми безуспешно се опитва да укроти Мѝстери).
