About
His Royal Whiskers Synopsis
A young alchemist and a giant cat stage a meow-tiny to take down an evil czar in this charming Carnegie Medal-nominated middle grade adventure.
Something bad has happened to Prince Alexander, the only heir to the mighty Petrossian Empire.
Something worse than kidnapping.
Something worse than murder.
Somehow, the Prince has been miraculously transformed into a fluffy kitten--and a large one, at that. Giant, in fact. Dinosaur-sized. And his father, the bloodthirsty czar, is not happy.
Why has this terrible
catastrophe happened? Who are the boy and girl brewing secret potions down in the palace kitchens? And how are they
paws-sibly going to avoid getting their heads chopped off?
