ADVENTURE LIES THROUGH THE MAGIC CAT FLAP
Murray the cat likes the quiet life. His favorite activities are snoozing, sleeping, and napping. Too bad for him, he lives with Bun, a rabbit who is bound to end up in trouble, and Fumblethumb, a wizard who accidentally enchanted the cap flap. Which means now the cat flap usually leads to the garden, but sometimes it leads to…ADVENTURE!
Which is how Murray and Bun find themselves in the land of VIKINGS!
But these brave warriors are far from scary. In fact, they need Murray and Bun’s help! Their friend, Eggrik, has been kidnapped by trolls. With no one else to turn to, it’s up to Murray and Bun to grab their shields, their hammers, and each other to SAVE THE DAY! But can they rescue Eggrik from the trolls before he becomes an afternoon snack?
Award-winning illustrator Adam Stower captures a purr-fectly pitched illustrated series. And don’t miss the bonus content that includes a postcard from Murray, directions for how to draw Murray, and much more!
