Description

The brilliantly funny new adventure starring one of Anne Fine's most well-loved characters- the Killer Cat. Tuffy doesn't feel wanted at home any more. His owners just don't appreciate him. So what if he broke the new TV? Got fur on all Dad's clean clothes? Ate Tinkerbell the kitten's special kitten-food? All accidents! But they're making such a fuss! So Tuffy decides to make a break for it. He bids farewell to the gang - Snowball, Tiger and Bella - and runs away. But starting a new life isn't easy, and soon Tuffy starts to wonder if he's made a terrible mistake . . .

Reviews

Former children's laureate Anne Fine has been entertaining children with the Killer Cat books for years * Burnley Express * A terrifically sharp-clawed story . . . Tuffy's view of the world is distinctly feline and very funny -- Julia Eccleshare * Guardian *
