Pusskin has lived a privileged life with 11-year-old Lottie, who clearly adores him; however, when the birds and insects begin to disappear, life changes for everyone, especially cats. Believing they are to blame for the decline, the government orders curfews for cats and then termination for cats of a certain age. It's at this point that Pusskin knows he has to act if he is to save his friends and, indeed, himself. Making the heart-breaking decision to leave Lottie in search of a hidden island where they can live in peace, Pusskin and his friends begin a journey that has the potential to change lives forever.
Having heard Stacy talk about The Last Journey during the Simon And Schuster brunch, I was intrigued by the book so I was pleased when a proof copy arrived at home for me. I have to admit that I'm more of a dog than a cat person, but Pusskin quickly captured a place in my heart and I found myself thinking of him whilst I wasn't reading the book.
Pusskin is the epitome of a true hero: brave, puts others before himself, treats everyone as equal, and doesn't realise the impact of what he is doing. I defy readers not to will him on and want to reach into the pages of the book to hug him.
The journey is one of adventure and new experiences for the band of cats and, their travels will both break and warm your heart in equal measure.
Publishing 3rd July, The Last Journey is an epic story of life, friendship and fighting for what's right.
