The Time-Travelling Cat and the Egyptian Goddess (Time-Travelling Cat series)

By Julia Jarman

Book Overview

Topher and his father are trying to get over the death of Topher's mother, an Egyptologist, when they take in a stray cat. This cat bears an uncanny resemblance to a cat ornament given to Topher by his mother, and so they name it Ka, meaning double. Topher becomes very attached to Ka and is puzzled by her mysterious absences. One day, when he is playing a computer game with an Egyptian theme, Ka jumps on the keys and spells out the name Bubastis, which was the center of cat worship in Ancient Egypt. Could Ka really be leading a double life, and what is she trying to tell Topher?

Customer Reviews

Very good cat book - not just for children

This book is good and not just for children. I read it when I was 13 and found it really good - I think its probably more suitable for people over 6 or 7 anyway. The boy is very likeable and the cat in it is wonderful. It makes you really want to read on and find out about the cat (Ka) and ancient Egypt. Go and buy this book - you will enjoy it and its a great book for people who like cats. Also its got a good sub plot with the boys relationship with a deaf girl and its a really likeable story.
