Parker King of the Queens

By Angi Scott

After a fire destroys the Queens Hotel, Parker - a gentle brown tabby - goes missing. Four family cats are saved, but Parker is nowhere. Days turn into weeks... until a late-night sighting sparks a daring rooftop rescue that brings a community together and changes everything.

Based on a true story, Parker, King of the Queens is a heartfelt chapter book for ages 7+. It blends real-life animal rescue with an uplifting message about courage, kindness, and finding home. Told with warmth and gentle humour, and featuring occasional black-and-white illustrations across 170 pages, it's perfect for independent readers and shared reading in KS2 classrooms.

Ideal for readers who enjoy animal rescue adventures with emotional depth, true stories, and hopeful endings. Themes include resilience after loss, community spirit, and self-belief ("you are enough"). A moving choice for children, families, teachers, and animal lovers.
