Toto is no ordinary cat, and she can't wait for you to join her on
her FIFTH ninja adventure! From one of the UK's best-loved
broadcasters. Toto's brothers, Silver and Socks, and their best
friend Catface have just been made Deputy Ninja Cats! But while
celebrating, they accidentally break a boat belonging to a very
important cat and find themselves heading north to a bootcamp for
naughty animals. Deep in the Scottish Highlands, they must climb
mountains, paddle leaky canoes and prove that they can work as a
team. But something isn't quite right at the bootcamp, and Toto's
ninja senses are on high alert ... There is a local legend of a
super-strong wildcat, destined to raise an army and take over all
of Scotland. Toto knows she must find out more, but danger is
lurking at every turn. Can she find the mysterious wildcat, before
it's too late? Ideal for reading aloud or for children to curl up
with and read alone, the story features brilliant black and white
illustrations throughout. With themes of friendship, inclusivity
and winning in the face of adversity, this is a hilarious must-read
for all animal-loving kids! From one of the UK's best-loved
broadcasters, theToto series is purrfect for fans of The
Aristocats, The Secret Life of Pets and Atticus Claw Breaks the
Law. Dermot says: 'The idea for Toto first came to me when my wife
and I rescued two stray cats from an olive grove in Italy. One of
them, Toto, has been blind from birth, but we quickly realised she
had ninja-like reactions. Like a lot of cat owners (or cat
servants), we like to imagine our pets having secret lives when
we're out or asleep. So before I knew it I was writing about Toto
and her brother Silver's nocturnal adventures around London. I
really hope that children who pick it up enjoy reading the
adventures of our little Italian underdog (cat).' Toto's other
adventures include: The Great Snake Escape, The Incredible Cheese
Heist, The Superstar Catastrophe and The Mystery Jewel Thief
The epic and heart-rending jungle adventure from a master

trumpeting at the sea. As Will sees a huge wave, a tsunami,
crashing in, Oona runs into the jungle with Will holding on for
dear life. With nothing but the clothes on his back and both
parents surely lost, Will wonders if there is much left for him in
the world. But with Oona beside him, the jungle might turn out not
to be so lonely . . .

'til night. But when you're dazzled by the limelight, it's easy to

rhyming story is perfect for sharing, reminding us all that

finding his first meal! He finally receives a very intriguing
