Have you ever wondered what life would be like if you could talk to animals? Book 1 in the Magic Animal Cafe series - from the bestselling author of Hopeless Heroes! Ellie and her mom are starting a new life in a new town and a very, very old building. They're opening a cat café, but there's a lot to do first - like welcoming the Andersons. Ellie doesn't want to share her home with strangers, especially Blake and his energetic puppy, Choccy. But when Ellie and Blake discover a magical old phone and a mouse determined to get rid of them, they'll have to find a way to all get along together. About the Magical Animal Cafe series: Join Ellie and Blake as they start new lives in a new town and a mysterious old building. They've only just met, but already they share a magical secret: they can talk to animals! That could prove useful with Ellie's mom opening a cat café, but the café is under threat from a greedy property developer - unless Ellie and Blake can stop him. With engaging illustrations and quirky talking animals, Magic Animal Café is perfect for animal lovers and young readers aged 7+.
