Inhaltsangabe:
"Dazzling." —The New York Times
Mesopotamian Blue cat, Varjak Paw, has never been Outside before; he and his family have always lived in the isolated house at the top of the hill. But Varjak is forced out into the city when the sinister Gentleman and his two menacing cats take over his home. With help from his mystical ancestor, Jalal, Varjak manages to overcome challenges such as self-survival and a threat from the gangland cats, and he ultimately discovers the terrifying secrets behind the Vanishings. But can he save his own family from their fate?
With wonderful integrated illustrations from acclaimed comic book artist Dave McKean, this book will appeal to all ages.
Über die Autorinnen und Autoren:
SF Said grew up in the Iraqi diasporic community in London, moving there with his mother at the age of two. After graduating from the University of Cambridge, he worked as a press attaché and speech writer for the Crown Prince of Jordan’s office in London. He began a Ph.D. in 1997 looking at the lives of young Muslims in Britain, but left academia to focus on film journalism for the Daily Telegraph—where he brought attention to much 'world cinema', including contemporary Islamic cinema—and writing for children.
Dave McKean is best known for his work on Neil Gaiman's Sandman series of graphic novels and for his CD covers for musicians from Tori Amos to Alice Cooper. He also illustrated Neil Gaiman's books Coraline, The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish, The Wolves in the Walls, and Crazy Hair. He live on the Island of Oxney in Kent, England.
SF Said is one of Britain's best young writers.
Dave McKean, world-renowned graphic illustrator, illustrated Coraline by Neil Gaiman.
