Flame the magical kitten must hide in the human world to escape his evil uncle but he can't stay in any place for too long. In every Magic Kitten story, he takes on a new guise and seeks out a child who is in need of his very special help. Eve really doesn't want to spend half-term away from home helping at a cattery. Not only is she away from all her friends but Alison the girl who lives there, doesn't seem to like her at all! But then a tiny kitten with silky sandy-coloured fur turns up who is VERY different from all the cats in the cattery and Eve's half-term suddenly quite magical...
I love this book! It is Christmassy, amazing and crumpety, all at once! It's a bit silly, and a lot funny, and there are poems and rhymes in each chapter that I loved reading out loud
