Description
Cats don’t talk. Everyone knows that.
So when a talking cat moves in with eleven‑year‑old Alice Reed, she’s drawn into a world of manipulative witches, powerful aristocrats, and chaotic time‑travelling buffoons — and these are the good guys. It doesn’t take long for Alice to realise that something isn’t quite right; something is taking an unsettling interest in her.
Between school, homework, and a constant supply of tea and biscuits, Alice must learn a difficult lesson: some games are already in motion before you’ve even got the board out of the box, and terrible consequences don’t care about your good intentions.
A Peculiar Patron is a whimsical fantasy adventure filled with steampunk charm, talking animals, and time‑travel intrigue. Perfect for readers who love Terry Pratchett and Diana Wynne Jones, this story blends humour, heart, and mystery as Alice learns that growing up is complicated, destiny is messy, and the world is far more wonderful—and more dangerous—than anyone warned her.
If you enjoy magical realism, witty dialogue, and stories where cats have opinions, you’ll love A Peculiar Patron.
