Toto the Ninja Cat and the Mystery Jewel Thief: Book 4 - Funny and action-packed animal adventures with hilarious illustrations for kids aged 7-10

From bestselling children’s author and broadcaster, Dermot O’Leary, comes an action-packed adventure. The crown jewels have been stolen and it’s up to Toto the Ninja Cat to recover them!

Toto and her friends are due to be looking after the French ambassador on a day of sightseeing, finishing at the Tower of London to see the animal world’s crown jewels: a sacred diamond cat collar.

But when they arrive, the collar has disappeared – and what’s worse, it looks like Toto is responsible! Toto is almost arrested, but she escapes to try and get to the bottom of the mystery and clear her name.

She and her friends will have to follow some strange clues that will take them to a secret bookshop, Buckingham Palace and the rats’ underground city in the sewers… Can they defeat an unexpected villain and bring the thief to justice?

Ideal for reading aloud or for children to curl up with and read alone, the story features brilliant black and white illustrations throughout by Nick East. With themes of friendship, inclusivity and winning in the face of adversity, this is a hilarious must-read for all animal-loving kids!

Toto the Ninja Cat has recently been adapted into a purrfect stage play – find it in a theatre near you!
