The nineteenth in a fantastic series of animal stories for younger readers by Waterstones Children's Book Prize-shortlisted author Helen Peters. With beautiful black-and-white illustrations by Ellie Snowdon.
Jasmine's dad is a farmer, and her mum is a large-animal vet, so Jasmine spends a lot of time caring for animals and keeping them out of trouble. Unfortunately, this often means she gets into hot water herself...
When Jasmine and Tom are dared to go into a haunted house on Halloween, they don't expect to find a beautiful silver tabby stray in need of a somewhere to belong. Jasmine is determined to help.
But Cobweb has other ideas and his new owner isn't sure she can keep him. Can Jasmine help Cobweb find the perfect place to call home or will the tabby cat end up back on the streets? This is the perfect Halloween animal story, with lots of drama, gentle spookiness and a heartwarming cat rescue!
Brilliant storytelling that will make you laugh and cry, this is Dick King-Smith for a new generation. Perfect for readers aged seven and up.

"Quality storytelling with a hint of Dick King-Smith's Sophie books" - The Bookseller
