Walking With Cats

Perfect for readers ages 9-14 who love talking animals, imaginative science fiction, and heartfelt adventures.

Walking With Cats is a beautifully written, emotionally rich sci-fi fairy tale about a young girl lost on a mysterious planet-where the only creatures she can trust are cats who speak in riddles, rebel against kings, and walk between stories.

When 12-year-old Elora's spaceship crashes on a strange world, she awakens alone-her family gone, her voice missing, and the forest whispering her name. But this is no ordinary alien planet. It's alive with floating trees, glowing murals, and cats that speak. Some want her to fulfill an ancient prophecy. Others want her to disappear. One, a scrappy cat named Tibba, teaches her how to survive.

As Elora uncovers the truth about the spiral-shaped world of Nyxara, she must decide: will she chase the life she lost... or claim a new one no one saw coming?
