* Winner of the 2005 Kelpies Prize for new Scottish writing for children * Major October launch in association with BRAW (U.K Books, Reading and Writing) children's network. Fergus can't believe it when his brand-new digital watch starts going backwards. Then he crashes (literally)into gadget-loving Murdo and a second mystery comes to light: cats are going missing all over the neighbourhood. As the two boys start to investigate,they find help in some unexpected places. Mike Nicholson won the Kelpies Prize with Catscape, his first novel, which is set in his home neighbourhood of Comely Bank, Edinburgh. For ages 9-12 years.
'I think Catscape is really good...'--Hannah de Angelis, Broughton High, Teen Titles magazine, 2006'If you live near Stockbridge AND you are a cat lover, then you have to read this book...I really enjoyed the plot and would recommend it to younger readers.'--Hannah Jones, Broughton High, Teen Titles magazine, 2006'A well-paced, entirely convincing mystery novel, full of suspense, wit and unexpected twists and turns. Beautifully written in a clear, accessible style with plenty of direct speech and detailed description, it is an excellent, gripping yarn for anyone over 9 years old.'-- School Librarian, Spring 2006'This delightful, whimsical story will appeal to children of all ages. It is well written without being condescending, and the plot is unusual and quite gripping.'-- Stockbridge and New Town Independent, November 2005'I thought the story was great. My favourite character was Jessie. I would definitely recommend it to my friends because it is such a good book. I would love to read another story about Jessie, Murdo and Fergus.'-- Annie, age 8, Peebleshire, Scotland.'A ripping yarn and beautifully plotted. A real boys-own adventure story.'-- Catherine Forde, author of Fat Boy Swim
