The Great Escape also has its own webpage with quizzes, games, reviews, and a fans' gallery.
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."
You can read Chapter 1 of The Great Escape online here. An unabridged audiobook from the BBC will be available soon.
