The Girl, the Cat and the Navigator

An enchanting, charming story of bravery on the ice-tipped ocean,

with stunning art by Anuska Allepuz on every page.

Curious, pin-bright Oona Britt dreams of setting sail with her ship’s

captain father for a life of excitement on the wild waves. She

has read stories of a magical creature – the Nardoo – who swims

through the stars at night, and stows away on whaling boat the

Plucky Leopard for an adventure full of myths and marvel among the

ice-caps.

Bestselling author Kiran Millwood Hargrave on Matilda’s first

book, The Boy, the Bird and the Coffin Maker: ‘This luminous tale

of loss, love and finding family is threaded through with the power

of storytelling, and a touch of magic.’
