The Wild Road

From the back cover of the Arrow first edition: "The greatest journey of all... is along the Wild Road. 'Eat when you're hungry, sleep where it's dry. No one is what they seem.' Sound advice. For Tag, stolen from his home to join a mysterious quest, it will be a lifesaver. Once tame, now he must navigate the wild roads, the animal highways which bind out world. He will be helped - by the old cat Majicou; the urban fox, Loves A Dustbin; the magpie One For Sorrow; and Cy, the tabby with a 'sparkplug' in her head. It's a journey alive with possibilities, but fraught with danger, for the balance of nature is under threat. Garbriel King's remarkable debut tells of the secret history of cats, and the perils of sharing a world with mankind."
