Review
'I think Catscape is really good...' --Hannah de Angelis, Broughton High, Teen Titles magazine, 2006 'If you live near Stockbridge AND you are a cat lover, then you have to read this book...I really enjoyed the plot and would recommend it to younger readers.' --Hannah Jones, Broughton High, Teen Titles magazine, 2006 'A well-paced, entirely convincing mystery novel, full of suspense, wit and unexpected twists and turns. Beautifully written in a clear, accessible style with plenty of direct speech and detailed description, it is an excellent, gripping yarn for anyone over 9 years old.' -- School Librarian, Spring 2006 'This delightful, whimsical story will appeal to children of all ages. It is well written without being condescending, and the plot is unusual and quite gripping.' -- Stockbridge & New Town Independent, November 2005 'I thought the story was great. My favourite character was Jessie. I would definitely recommend it to my friends because it is such a good book. I would love to read another story about Jessie, Murdo and Fergus.' -- Annie, age 8, Peebleshire, Scotland. 'A ripping yarn and beautifully plotted. A real boys-own adventure story.' -- Catherine Forde, author of Fat Boy Swim
Product Description
Fergus can't believe it when his brand-new digital watch starts going backwards. Then he crashes (literally) into gadget-loving Murdo and a second mystery comes to light: cats are going missing all over the neighbourhood. This book was the winner of the Kelpies Prize. Sharply and wittily observed, it's a story of unlikely friendships, unexpected allies and cat surveillance.
