Young Adult Contemporary | Childrens | Young Adult Coming of Age

Katya O’Callaghan, from a Polish-Irish family, needs to grow up quickly when the Covid-19 Pandemic strikes Dublin. She’s caring for her younger twin brothers, her puppy and kitten, and she’s the sole visitor allowed for her grandparents. That’s a lot of responsibility for a thirteen year old. 

 

When circumstances oblige Katya to move in with her grandparents, she brings her kitten, which gets named Milo. Between attending school online and educating the seniors about e-mails from foreign princes, she’s kept busy. As the lockdown restrictions are extended, the girl learns vital lessons. She’s going to need all her skills when dog thieves strike her family.

 

This informative, positive thinking story for young people mixes fact with fiction, nature lore, photos and a recipe. Illustrated with photos by the author.

 

A Cat For Company is third in the Irish Lockdown series, following A Pony For Quarantine and A Dog For Lockdown, and can be read as a standalone. 

 

Another atmospheric story of young adults and challenges from the No.1 Bestselling author of SHOW JUMPING TEAM.

 

A Pony For Quarantine was selected to feature in Multicultural Children’s Book Day, a non-profit which promotes diversity in children’s literature.

 

A Dog For Lockdown was chosen as Middle Grade Book of the Year by author and reviewer Jemima Pett.
