Holly Webb’s best-selling series Pet Rescue Adventures continues with this story of Harper and her young kitten, Sammy, who misses his old house when the family moves. So when Sammy is presented with the opportunity to return to his old house, he takes it….

The bestselling Pet Rescue Adventures series by Holly Webb continues with this heartwarming tale of Harper and her kitten, Sammy. Harper loves spending time with her beautiful kitten; Sammy likes to sit in the window, explore their apartment, and play in the yard. But when Harper and her family move in with her grandmother, everything changes. Sammy doesn’t feel at home at Grandma’s, and he misses the smells and sounds of his old house. So when he sees a chance to go back, he takes it—but soon discovers that home is more than just a building where you live.
Holly Webb started out as a children's book editor and wrote her first series for the publisher she worked for. She has been writing ever since, with more than one hundred books to her name. Holly lives in Berkshire with her husband and three children. Holly's pet cats are always nosing around when she is trying to type on her laptop.

Sophy Williams has been illustrating children's books for more than 25 years. She has illustrated the work of many prestigious authors, including Philip Pullman, Geraldine McCaughrean, and Adèle Geras. Sophy lives in Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire, UK.
