Varjak Paw
Varjak Paw | SF Said
Mesopotamian Blue cat, Varjak Paw, has never been Outside before; he and his family have always lived in the isolated house at the top of the hill. But Varjak is forced out into the city when the sinister Gentleman and his two menacing cats take over his home. With help from his mystical ancestor, Jalal, Varjak manages to overcome challenges such as self-survival and a threat from the gangland cats, and he ultimately discovers the terrifying secrets behind the Vanishings. But can he save his own family from their fate? With wonderful integrated illustrations from acclaimed comic book artist Dave McKean, this book will appeal to all ages. From the Hardcover edition.

A nice fast-paced book. I bought this just because the cover looked rad to me and the name sounded interesting. The illustrations were really nice.

Varjak Paw 🐾 is different from his other Mesopotamia Blue siblings. They might look down on him, but it is up to him to save them if he can learn the ancient ways of his ancestor, Jalal.

Great story 😻 with black ink drawings by Dave McKean.

Thank you so much @jessinikkip for your wonderful, thoughtful gifts! Did you make the lovely knit snowflakes? They are so cute and I can‘t wait to use the lovely bath items! And I‘m so exited to try these books and the yummy almonds, and it‘s all so wonderful! Thank you! And the cards are PERFECT! I love stationary.

iread2much Thank you @Avanders for setting up the #sss and I apologize for such a late post; the end of semester means a lot of very long days. 6y
jessinikkip You are welcome and I am glad you liked it all! Yes, I made the snowflakes. They are crocheted with white yarn and then stiffened to hold their shape :) I tried to follow all your likes and dislikes while shopping for you and I am glad it all seemed to be good :) 6y

#OctoberXFiles Day 31: Accdg to Fats‘ review: “Varjak Paw, which won the gold medal during the 2003 Nestle Smarties Book Prize, had me rooting for Varjak from the start. I felt my blood boil every time his family looks down on him and rejects his opinion. My heart sank when Elder Paw was locked in combat with Varjak‘s father. I cheered when Varjak made it Outside in search of the ‘monsters.‘” #CallingAllTheMonsters indeed. https://wp.me/pDlzr-6A2
