There are lots of prizes to be won, including sets of books and signed artwork, and the first 1,000 entries will all receive a free poster! This is the sequel to the classic story Varjak Paw and it takes the gang of cats on new adventures and pits them against new and more frightening foes for Sally Bones, the thin white cat with with crystal blue eye also knows The Way. I want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone at Foyles for an evening I will never forget, and for making Tyger their children's book of the year! But it doesn't actually go into these emotions a lot, which surprises me as this is read in primary schools, where books tend to have in-depth scenes about emotions to help children learn. Writing The Outlaw Varjak Paw is probably the hardest thing I've ever done, but it feels worthwhile when I hear something like that!

Varjak is the only one who has a chance of standing up to Sally Bones for they are the only two cats who know The Way.Now Varjak must use the Way to survive in a city full of dangerous dogs and cats and strange goings on. The following suggestion involves children writing non-fiction texts for specific purposes and audiences.

Right then, a patrol from Sally Bones’s gang walks in; Varjak, Holly and Tam hide, suspecting that Sally Bones and her gang are after them. Soon the city erupts in an all-out gang war as the evil Sally Bones attempts to control the lives of all cats. Our Children's Book of the Month, Tyger, is a thrilling good vs evil adventure in which two children and Tyger battle to save their home. My class have been blown away by Varjak Paw and we were about to get started on The Outlaw Varjak Paw after Easter.It follows Varjak on his journey of self-discovery as he battles rival gangs, forges new friendships, dreams the wisdom of his ancestors, and learns the value of truth, loyalty and freedom. Although the Trio (Jay, Jethro and Jerome) are Varjak's littermates and do not bully him directly, they giggle and laugh at Julius' comments, alongside Jasmine.
