Book Review

I like the world where the cats drink milk in cafes and get messages brought by birds

MEOW MEOW MEOW!

I liked the book more than the other Toto the Ninja cat books and it made me laugh. For example, Archduke Ferdicat has a hilariously terrible fake name, I mean honestly? Archibald O’fitzycat? LOL! There is also a game of snap and a very fun riddle in it. I like Toto because she is a ninja.

I liked the way Larry, the real 10 Downing Street cat, appears in the story. I would love to meet Larry to taste some Jersey milk.

There are pictures every now and again – I would prefer it to have pictures on every page like the ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ series.

I can’t wait for the next Toto book… I like the world where the cats drink milk in cafes and get messages brought by birds. When they get on trains, the train is just a human train the cat quarters are below the human quarters.

I think Toto should visit Mount Marapi next (a volcano from the Firework maker’s Daughter with the nickname the Fire Fiend). Or, she could stay in Ireland and meet Artemis Fowl. Although she’d probably be kidnapped. Or should I say catnapped!

If you are a cat you’ll like this book!

[Mum says: Ben really loved reading the Toto book. I heard lots of giggling while he was reading]

About the Book

Toto and her friends are on their way to Ireland. Their old arch rival Archduke Ferdicat needs their help infiltrating a gang who he feels sure are up to something. Toto disguises herself and soon discovers there is some very valuable treasure buried in the hills above the town in the cliffs.

The race is on – can Toto and her friends track down the treasure in time – or will their enemies get there first…?
