I am definitely planning to write a third Varjak Paw book one day, and I think it will answer your questions about the story. I wrote a little bit about my idea for it in this blog post. Happy World Book Day 2023! This year, I made a World Book Day video of me reading aloud from Tyger, and it's been amazing to see people watching it in classrooms, libraries and homes around the world. And I absolutely love seeing all the different ways people celebrate their favourite books, so here are some of the incredible pictures I've seen this year - including the very first ever World Book Day TYGER costumes! Huge and heartfelt thanks to everyone!

He lives with his family in an old house on a hill. Like the rest of the family, he has never left the house. But, one day his grandfather tells him about ‘the Way’ – a secret martial art for cats. Varjak then has to use the Way to survive in a city full of dangerous dogs, cat gangs and, strangest of all, the Vanishings.I’d say be yourself, you know ‘The Way’ you know you are right, and your family is wrong so just go with it, you know the Elder Paw is right.’ After she had finished, we had fun with a mini ‘interview’ about the book which worked as I had read it too). It was a little different to what I remember it being from when I originally read it 10+ years ago, but that doesn't mean it wasn't as good.

With the children, develop a framework for a suspense story that is based on one of Varjak’s adventures in the city. The first four chapters of the book set the scene and introduce the reason for Varjak’s departure from the house. Chapter five sees the cat’s dramatic climb to freedom and gives readers the chance to reflect on Varjak as a character. As he sits on the top of the wall at the end of the chapter, ask pupils to think about how he’s feeling. Write up the following sentence stems: Varjak Paw has been widely translated. It has inspired a play, an opera and several unofficial animations.
