Book Synopsis

Beautiful and heart-achingly sad animal adventure with CATS and a strong environmental message. Perfect for fans of Michael Morpurgo, Sarah Lean and Hannah Gold’s The Last Bear…

Pusskin has always lived with his loving owner, eleven-year-old Lottie. The bond between them is unbreakable, or so they both thought. But when the bird and insect populations are depleted, cats are made a scapegoat. Keen to protect his cat friends on the cul-de-sac, Pusskin sets off on a journey that will take them to a hidden island at the furthest reaches of the country.

When Lottie tries to bring him home, she soon comes to realise that for Pusskin to have any chance of survival, she’ll have to let him go. Could this be their final goodbye?

Our Review Panel says...

The Last Journey is a wonderful book full of feline delight! The main character, Pusskin, is brave and lovable, leading his furry friends on a journey to safety after he (and all the other cats in the land) are blamed for the disappearance of birds across the country. When Pusskin has to leave his loving owner, Lottie, it is heart-wrenching, but the incredible journey that he and his friends undertake is full of highs as well as lows. This book is beautifully written, and Stacy Gregg creates a team of wonderful cats that will tug on the heartstrings of any reader. This book would be perfect for any reader aged 9 or above – you don’t have to be a cat lover to enjoy this one!
