About the Book:
In a sleepy little town, an ordinary-looking cat hides an extraordinary secret that will transform his owners' lives forever.
When the Thompson family inherits a dilapidated old house, their overprotected son Timmy forms a strong bond with Whiskers—a chronically lazy tabby who's not what he seems.
As Timmy explores the house's mysteries, a chilling discovery puts his courage to the test. With the help of Whiskers and some newfound friends, he must face supernatural forces beyond his imagination and rescue a soul in peril.
The Cat Who Chased Ghosts is a spine-tingling tale about bravery, loyalty, and the magical power of friendship (human and feline) that will thrill readers of all ages, reminding us that sometimes the most extraordinary heroes come in the most unlikely packages.
Read an Excerpt:
He stood at the foot of the stairs for a good minute before summoning the courage to climb them. Pausing on the landing, he looked up. The light in the attic had gone off.
But the lightbulb was broken, he remembered. Someone left it on, and now it’s flickering, he told himself.
He knew he could not go to sleep until he saw for himself that he was right, so with a deep breath, he pushed himself to keep climbing. By the time he reached the top, the light was on again.
A cold sweat broke out along his hairline.
He walked inside. The room was large and monstrously cluttered, full of old furniture belonging to Aunt Willie, and scores of boxes the Thompsons had not had time to unpack yet. He glanced around the place, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
He stood still for a bit, listening intently. Finally, he heard something; soft, yet insistent tapping.
Bats, he remembered. But bats don’t tap. Do they?
“Is someone here?” he asked. He meant to sound calm, but his voice trembled.
At that very moment, to his horror, he heard it; a low, drawn-out whisper.
“Welcome.” A faint echo lingered in the air.
“Mom! Dad!” Timmy tried calling; all he could produce was a hoarse murmur.
“Come to me,” the breathy voice sighed, closer to his ear. He spun around, expecting to see someone, but only his own reflection stared back at him from the window.
