Little Kitty, superhero in training with a set of cat-like superpowers, is back in an adventure that’s perfect for the run up to Hallowe’en.
Her mum is working with their neighbours on a special Autumn festival and Kitty and her cat friends decide to run one of their own too in the park. But someone is up to no good and steals all the food they’ve put aside, and the pumpkins. Could it be Duke and his gang of reprobate cats? He points the blame at a Great Dane who’s just moved into the neighbourhood, but Kitty’s superpowers help her work out the truth.
As ever, this series is perfectly pitched for newly independent readers, a lively story, gorgeous two-colour illustrations on every page, and there are extra treats for readers to enjoy at the end, including a recipe for delicious pumpkin biscuits.

About Paula Harrison
Paula Harrison began inventing stories and writing them down as a child. One of her best was about a magical land inhabited by talking bookworms. After taking an English degree, she became a primary school teacher and is now married with two children. She loves inspiring children's imaginations and believes that day-dreaming can be a really good use of your time (although she hasn't actually said that during a lesson). Over the years, she's shared many different authors' books with children, and now she can't wait to share her own.
Paula says: “The beginnings of the idea for The Rescue Princesses came when I watched my daughters playing. They were racing around the garden pretending to be Princesses who could go anywhere and do anything they liked. That set me thinking: in a world where anything is possible, Princesses won’t be sitting around on thrones. They’ll be out there, proving they’re better than the Princes!”
Paula Harrison is the author of Red Moon Rising (for older readers) and The Rescue Princesses (a younger series). She wanted to be a writer from a young age but spent many happy years being a primary school teacher first. She finds inspiration in lots of things from cloud shapes to snippets of conversation. She loves sandy beaches and eating popcorn. She lives with her husband and children in Buckinghamshire, which is nowhere near the sea. Whenever possible, she packs her family into the car and journeys far and wide to find a sandy beach where she can paddle in the waves.
