Puffin Lau has two problems: her beloved scientist mum barely speaks to her . . . and a mythical wildcat called the kuri is depending on her for its survival.

Luckily, Puffin grew up on stories of the kuri and its magical powers, and she will stop at nothing to return it to its rightful home.

But standing in her way is the ominous Professor Smoult, a money-hungry scientist who wants to capture the kuri and steal its magic. Faced with a mammoth journey to the faraway Linger Island, Puffin and her best friend Lance must evade the professor and save the last wildcat before it’s too late . . .

This book is a fabulous fiction book. It inspired me to never give up and push through. My favourite character is the Kuri. As it leads Puffin to answers and always tries her/his best. Definitely a recommendation.

It was an easy read. It was about a wildcat called Trouble and he gets into lots of mischief. It was a nice ending because Trouble lived. My favourite was Lance because he seems very sensible. But he gets into mischief as well. I would recommend this book.
