It is a hot afternoon in ancient Rome, everyone in the house is sleeping, except eight-year-old Sabina. She goes out into her favourite part of the garden, where she feels anything might happen And that day, it does! There, in a tree, is a cat. A very unusual cat, the only daughter of the King of the Cats of Rome.

She can talk human every bit as much as she talks cat. And she needs Sabina's help to save her father, who's been put under a wicked spell by the King of the Rats. And so begins an exciting adventure, as Sabina and Cleo the cat, with the reluctant co-operation of dogs Major and Minor, race against time to get help before it's too late A funny, action-packed light fantasy for young readers by multi-award-winning author Sophie Masson, set against a fascinating background, and illustrated with lively humour by acclaimed illustrator Laura Wood.
