Escape through the magic cat flap and join your favorite cat and bunny duo on their newest quest where they encounter knights, a jousting competition, and one VERY twisty, turny, confusing maze! Readers will giggle their was through this cat-in-shining armor story that’s perfect for readers of Dog Man.

ADVENTURE LIES THROUGH THE MAGIC CAT FLAP

Murray the cat likes the quiet life. 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 sometimes the cat flap leads to the garden, but sometimes it leads to...ADVENTURE!

Which is how Murray and Bun find themselves as KNIGHTS! But things are not calm in this world of kings, castles, and chaos. Sir Nasty is less than noble and has stolen Princess Rubytoes. Murray and Bun must master a jousting competition and navigate one SUPER complicated maze if they have any hope of bringing the princess home in time for a cat nap.

Award-winning illustrator Adam Stower makes his middle grade debut in a purr-fectly pitched illustrated series. And don’t miss the bonus content that includes a postcard from Murray, Murray’s Family Album, and much more!

“Hilarious … A joy to read whatever your age” – David Walliams
