Description
Kali has always dreamed of adventure, but she never expected to find it in the company of a talking cat. Puss definitely has an agenda, but he isn't sharing it with her. All she knows is that he wants a miller's child to accompany him across the Great Desert to the mysterious lands beyond.
Kali doesn't mean to let her opportunity go, even if she doesn't understand the purposes of the mysterious creature at her side. But when she encounters thieves and misadventure, she realizes something bigger is underway. Her people are under threat, and she can't turn her back on them-no matter how irritated she is by the fellow traveler who turns up wherever she goes. Kali knows Xavier isn't to be trusted, but she and Puss need his help. Only together can they avoid the traps laid for her and uncover the truth.
In this reimagining of the classic fairy tale, Puss in Boots, a miller's daughter will have to trust a tricksy cat and a handsome young man if the three of them have any hope of saving her people.

These interconnected fairy tale retellings each feature a different heroine who finds herself friendless in a strange land and who must fight to save her new home and win her happily ever after.

Person
Melanie Cellier grew up on a staple diet of books, books and more books. And although she got older, she never stopped loving children's and young adult novels.
She always wanted to write one herself, but it took three careers and three different continents before she actually managed it.
She now feels incredibly fortunate to spend her time writing from her home in Adelaide, Australia where she keeps an eye out for koalas in her backyard. Her staple diet hasn't changed much, although she's added choc mint Rooibos tea and Chicken Crimpies to the list.
She writes young adult fantasy including her Spoken Mage series, and her Four Kingdoms and Beyond the Four Kingdoms series which are made up of linked stand-alone fairy tale retellings.
