Book Overview

by Chris Riddell (Author)

A fun, fresh cover look for the first title in Chris Riddell's excellent Ottoline series. Packed with gorgeous black-and-white illustrations throughout, Ottoline and the Yellow Cat is perfect for kids aged 7+!

Introducing Miss Ottoline Brown, an exceptionally inquisitive Mistress of Disguise, and her partner in crime, Mr Munroe. No puzzle is ever too tricky for the two of them to solve . . .

Ottoline lives in a stylish apartment in Big City with a small hairy creature called Mr Munroe. Together they look after the Brown family's eclectic collections - and dabble in a spot of detective work. So they are the first to the scene of the crime when a string of high-society dog-nappings and jewel thefts hits Big City.

It's up to Ottoline and Mr Munroe to go undercover - and expose an ingenious scam masterminded by furry feline crook, the Yellow Cat . . .

Winner of the Nestle Prize, and crammed with black-and-white illustrations, Ottoline and the Yellow Cat is perfect for young and reluctant readers.

Join Ottoline and Mr Monroe for more adventures in Ottoline Goes to School, Ottoline at Sea and Ottoline and the Purple Fox!
