Perigold and Woolfrik are a quixotic duo starting out in the questing business. These would-be do-gooders encounter the no-so-good wizard, Dagzobad, the perfect villain, who without much help, manages to thwart his own evil schemes. Enter Earl Mortimore, a ghost and member of a once legendary guild of wizards and warriors. With the Earl’s guidance, our indefatigable heroes battle shady characters, rampaging monsters and a blocked toilet. Soon requests for quests start pouring in. Perigold and Woolfrik revive the disbanded guild and Kitty Quest is born!

In this exciting graphic novel for younger readers, the fun is not all in the vibrant images, there is a great use of language too – words like vanquish, exquisite, instigate, unbridled, commotion, elucidate, amassed, nefarious, consequences and herbivorous. Kitty Quest is fun, utterly engaging and brimming with adventure – perfect for fans of Dogman, Bad Guys and Narwhal and Jelly. Are you ready for the next adventure in this offbeat series? For ages 7+.
