International animal-smuggling, illicit computer-hacking, break-neck chases and a fast-talking cat. Just your ordinary school holidays...

© Adam Stower.

It's the summer holidays and Millie's bored stiff. Every week, she has to clean windows with her dad at a nearby laboratory. But she's sure something weird's going on inside...

Then one day, a cat comes hurtling through the lobby towards her... and asks her for help. And Max needs a lot of help. He's trying to escape, he wants to know who kidnapped him and why - who on earth would want to make cats that can talk? And he needs Millie to help him rescue the friends he's left behind, before it's too late...

"A first-rate read on all levels, not just for children, but adults too, and a salutary warning to cats everywhere to mind their Ps and Qs."

"Funny, fresh and feline - this is a strange, sinister, shimmering story which will appeal to cats of all ages."

New - The Great Escape has been shortlisted for the Lincolnshire Young People's Book Awards, alongside The Legend Worst Boy In The World by Eoin Colfer, Ottoline And The Yellow Cat by Chris Riddell, The Truth Sayer by Sally Prue, and My Dad's a Birdman by David Almond.

New - The Great Escape will soon be available in German.
