An adventure of a story.

I liked that kuri the cat has magical power and she could heel people.

I would say it’s fictional. My favourite character was Trouble or Puffin. I have given it to my mum to read because I think it’s so good

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.

I enjoyed this book, love how it’s about a mythical cat! one of my favourite animals

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.
