Customer Reviews
Read as a class text - fantastic *****
I read Varjak Paw to my year 3 class (7-8 year olds) and they loved it - as did I! A great story about a cats adventures, friends and mystery of the vanishings. Can be quite gritty at times for younger readers. Would 100% recommend as SF Said is a fantastic author!
