Charlie - Sheila Norton

Heartwarming and lovable, Charlie will squirm his way into your heart. Perfect for fans of A Streetcat Named Bob and Alfie the Doorstep Cat.

But what could I do? I was just a little cat and nobody ever listened to me. I made a promise to myself that I'd do everything I possibly could to save her, whatever the danger to me, and no matter how many lives I lost in the process...

Charlie the kitten would do anything for his human. Having just recovered from a debilitating illness, eleven-year-old Caroline isn't feeling her best, and the arrival of a new baby only makes her feel even more left out.

So when Caroline decides to run away, Charlie follows, vowing to protect her at all costs. But for such a little kitten, it's a big and scary world outside the comfort of the cottage - how far will he go to save his greatest friend?
