This is a magical book perfect for cat lovers. It had a very Roald Dahl/ Lemony Snicket-esque feel to it with the evil aunt and uncle and orphan child but it left me with lots of unanswered questions.
How does Rosa stop things? How could Bathazar talk or slip through windows? Also I’d love to know more about the orange kitten that was saved 20 years before
Overall it was a quick, fun read, tense in places and heartwarming in others. I hope there is a sequel and we can catch up with Rosa andher new life in Italy
Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan children’s books for my arc.
