Eleven-year-old Della Wiskin spends half the time living with Dad on one side of the city and the rest with Mum in her crowded flat on the other. Forced to babysit three-year-old half-sister Gigi when twelve-year-old step-brother Riley abandons them to watch the footy, Della has had quite enough of her blended family. Then a large wild cat with what looks like feathers on its ears appears in the stairwell of their block of flats. Della loves cats and knows it’s a lynx. It chases Della to their neighbour’s – a boy Della’s age called Joram whom she hardly ever speaks to. Trapped inside his flat, Joram, Della and Gigi try to work out a way to escape the spooked lynx. The police are on their way; they’re ready to shoot the lynx on sight. The children ask themselves a question: is the lynx really dangerous? They decide it’s not. They are going to save it. But with snow falling fast and news of the escaped lynx spreading, including a reward for its capture posted anonymously online, how easy is this going to be? They can’t trust anyone – not even the police. Della and co set off on their impossible mission to protect the lynx and find somewhere safe where it can belong.... |
