Book 7: The Vultures (Ebook)

Casper needs a bird’s-eye view. There is just one problem: she is a cat.

Book 7: The Vultures

Far from home, Casper has already faced more than she ever imagined. Then a rattling, bristling porcupine stops her in her tracks, and all her courage seems to disappear.

A tiny warthog is searching for his missing father. A vulture with a broken wing needs help. Somehow Casper finds herself caught up in another rescue, surrounded by creatures who are much more than they first appear.

To search the vast bush, she may have to take to the sky on the back of a one-eyed vulture. Can a little city cat trust an unexpected friend enough to leave the ground?

An adventurous mix of laughter, worry and warmth about facing big feelings, asking for help and looking beyond appearances.
