From the Costa Award-winning author of The Skylarks' War, Hilary McKay, comes the story of a young orphan girl looking for magic in the world, and the feline family who help her to find it.
Rosa discovers she lives in a world full of magic. It arrives with Balthazar, a large black cat, just when she needs it most. Thankfully, there are lots of cats in Venice...
Even so, it takes all her courage to stay hopeful and adventurous when her dreadful aunt and uncle move into her life.
And when she finds herself abandoned in the ancient city of Venice where the stars are watching over her, can magic help her then?
