Review Quotes:
"My very favourite cat in contemporary literature, the delightful and rather large Tonkinese one called Max, is back. This time in the deserts of Arabia and very much on his own without the support of his beloved Jemima, her twin brother, Joe and their friend, Charlie... Thank you for introducing Max to the world. I look forward to more of his adventures." IONA CARROLL, author of the Oisin Kelly series
"I love Wendy Leighton-Porter's Shadows of the Past series and was delighted to find her latest book, where Max the cat has an unusual adventure. Max's Arabian Adventure has one significant difference from all his other escapades with twins Jemima and Joe and their best friend Charlie-this time Max is on his own. Wendy Leighton-Porter's feline hero, Max the talking Tonkinese cat, has brought such pleasure to young and young-at-heart readers... The author has imbued Max with such realistic characteristics and a wonderful personality. This is truly Max's adventure and he truly shines!" FIONA INGRAM, author of The Chronicles of the Stone series
"Max the Tonkinese cat has his first solo adventure in this charming story, from the pen of the talented Wendy Leighton-Porter. I had a great time reading it and didn't want it to end. Max meets a number of different characters on his unplanned desert trip, some kind and helpful - and one that certainly would be classified as the villain. Lots of twists and turns in the plot-line make the reader wonder if Max is actually going to make it home, despite his inbuilt ingenuity...Readers of all ages - and especially children - will delight in this terrific tale, set in the land of desert sands." JOHN CLEWARTH, author
"A lovely little story. This time Max is on his own when transported into a land of Arabian mystery. Being the lovable cat that he is, he soon makes friends. Arabian friends. And his journey takes the reader into a world made all the more real as the writer lives there, as she explains at the end of the book." OLIVER EADE, author
