Ren hates Pearl's calmly righteous perfectionism just as Pearl can't stand the 'burn it down' disruption Ren carries out with her wildly popular climate crisis activists, Out of Time and her former situationship, Tab.

A note from the author Holly Webb
My very first Animal Stories book was inspired by stories my mum and I made up about our stray kitten, Rosie, when I was little. My mum told the stories, and I did all the sad kitten noises! It's 17 years since I wrote Lost in the Snow, but I've loved telling the stories of all the kittens, puppies and wonderful animal-lovers in these books. Whether you already have your own pet, or you're wishing for one, I hope you love sharing these books too.

Holly Webb is one of Britain's best-loved children's writers. She has written over a hundred books for children and her work has been translated into over thirty languages. Holly lives in Tilehurst, just outside of Reading, Berkshire, with her husband, three children and several cats. Visit www.holly-webb.com or @HollyKateWebb.
