A funny, ghostly tale, packed with adventure and a sprinkling of history (including a starring role for the ghost of the Duke of Wellington). With hilarious illustrations from Mike Phillips, this warm-hearted story is the perfect way to help build children's reading confidence. There's something unusual about Stella and Tom's friends - they're all a little bit dead! The Duke of Wellington and the other ghosts in the castle are feeling homesick and so a ghostly road trip is the only cure. Can Stella and Tom get their friends home without the interfering ghost catcher, Stoneyheart, catching up with them? Funny, exciting or a little bit spooky, Black Cats are fast-paced stories with short chapters and illustrations throughout: perfect stepping stones to reading confidence.
Inspired by his own family and from his time as a teacher, Paul likes to write stories that grab young readers and gets them turning pages! He is lucky enough to have lived all over the world, and some of those places, and the people he's met along the way, pop up in his books from time to time. Paul has over 1 published titles to date, across a range of genres. He is the author of the children's novels The Twins, the Ghost and the Castle, The Twins and the Wild Ghost Chase, Factor Four: the Awakening, and Factor Four: Tiger, Tiger. Robin Boyden is an illustrator, writer and designer, based in Bristol, UK – but it if wasn't for the pirate risk factor, he'd quite like do his work from a hammock in the Caribbean in the 18th Century. Along with working on Skate Monkey, his other projects include creating new artwork for The Demon Headmaster series and designing cardboard cut outs for Kew Gardens. Robin enjoys history podcasts, comedy films and using dogs as inspiration for his human characters
