Isla loves hanging out at her best friend Hailey's house, especially since Hailey has just gotten a beautiful kitten named Silky! But someone isn't too thrilled with the new arrival -- the family's older cat, Pickle. A heartwarming chapter book from the Pet Rescue Adventures series featuring black and white illustrations throughout.

When Hailey's family goes away for the night, Isla offers to "cat-sit". But to Isla's surprise, Hailey's new kitten, Silky, is clearly terrified of Pickle, Hailey's older cat. How can Isla break the news to Hailey that her new kitten is so unhappy?

Pet Rescue Adventures is a series of heartwarming animal tales. Each book focuses on one kitten or puppy and their unique journey to find their new "forever home". A wonderful collection of heartwarming tales, perfect for animal lovers!
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 over 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.
