Varjak Paw: An award-winning modern children's classic: 1

Varjak Paw is the best book ever. It is a great book to read. Adults will love it too. Varjak Paw is a black cat and he is a Mesopotamian blue. He has a big family. His best friends are Holly and Tam. He met them in the street. He also met a dog called Cludge. At the end of the story Cludge saves the day. There are two horrible cats called Sally Bones and Ginger. They both have their own gang. Varjak met Razoe. Razor is part of Sally Bones' gang. Razor wiped Varjak to the ground. Luckily, Varjak was ok. Every time Varjak went to sleep he dreamt of his ancestor Jalal. He taught Varjak the ways. One skill was impossible - it was shadow walking. At the end of the story Varjak did shadow walk! By Alexis, Voles It was very sad and it was an adventure book. The book was about a cat called Varjak Paw and he lost his friend called Tam. There is also a man who steals cats and stuffed them so Varjak had to find a dog to scare the man. The dog is called Cludge and he is very nice and slobbery. I like it because it is emotional and I like to explore. I think this book is good for people who like adventures and mysteries. by Blossom, Voles Varjak Paw is a book about a cat learning the way of Jalal. It is a book that will blow your mind and is very funny. Varjak has three friend that help him along his journey. There are 7 skills for Varjak to learn and he has to use these skills in fights. You might like this book if you like pets. I recommend this book for any ages. It is by SF Said. by Dylan, Voles It was about a cat trying to save its family and face a man who was making real cats into toy cats. I liked Cludge, the dog who is Varjak Paw's friend. This story would appeal to everybody, especially the readers that like cats. I think everybody would like this book based on their hobbies. by Adelina, Voles Varjak paw is about a Mesopotamian Blue who learns the way (a martial arts for cats) and whilst he's learning, he meets some friends along the way. He also has a lot of family. Here are some: Jay, Jasmine, mother, father. I would recommend it to cat lovers and adventurous people. by Lyra, Voles Varjak Paw is a cat who needs to save his family by talking to a dog. I like it because there are fights. My favourite character is Cludge because he is fun and silly. I would recommend to my mum because she loves cats! by Alex, Voles Varjak Paw is a cat in the story. He lived with his family and in his dreams he learnt the Way with a cat called Jalal. The Way is a group of skills. Once in his family, the Elder Paw was attacked by a gentleman and two cats. So he was sent to get a dog. Then when he got the dog (Cludge), then he saved his family. Then they lived happily. by Shivani, Voles Varjak Paw is an awesome book. It's got loads of adventures and fighting. The author of this book is SF Said. Om this book, Varjak becomes a street cat. by Liam, Voles

A thoroughly exciting tale of an "under-cat". A delight to read each day and learn the skills of The Way" A daring mission to venture Outside and find a Monster... Gangs, a gentlemen and glass eyes- a great story. Looking forward to reading more by SF Said. Thank you Mrs Soper & Year 4 (Ferham Primary School)

I bought this as a gift for a (nearly) 7 yr old, so I've not seen it, but her parents say it is good

This review is from a 9 year old. Very good book. The reason why I got this book in the first place was because I am a cat lover. We all have an opinion on which pet is better and I think it is cats. But you are probably a cat lover because you are looking at this book. My favourite bit was when Holly and Tam met Varjak. Overall, very good because it had some funny bits but there were also scary bits. There are some unanswered questions in this book that could have been in this book but I guess that is why there is a book 2.

Good

I think this is an amazing book and I have learnt new things and words at the same time this is a fun and enjoyable book the complete opposite of boring. When I am free instead of playing with my brother I read and at my bed time I read for 2 hours of this book. I would recommend this to ages 8-9 this is because of the understanding that has to be done. I am a 10 year old girl who read this in year 4 and I brought it again to read it another time. This is an amazing book and I would recommend it to even adults as this is an absolutely amazing and loveable book. But there was a bit too much violence so little kids should not read this. For example the characters Sally bones she has one eye and in the illustration as well in the book they started talking about the sockets and all that stuff so that's why but overall I love this book very much so do read this book.

I got the sequel to this first in a library sale and read it to my 5 year old daughter (who does kung fu and has a cat!) It was fantastic! So I ordered the first one off Amazon, and just finished reading it to her last night. She loved it too! As well as being a great story, well written, it touches on the while idea of some people thinking of themselves as 'purer' and more noble than other groups - as in Aryan Nazis and Jews. We are what we do, the story shows, not what group we're born into... Anyone can become Noble through kindness and bravery! The Zen-like wisdom was a great surprise for me too! And with Varjak's dream ancestor Jelal there's a nod to the great Persian master Rumi I suspect... :)

Varjak Paw is a Mesopotamian Blue, who loves the Elder Paw’s tales of Jalal, the ancient Mesopotamian Blue who brought the Paws to the Contessa’s home, where the family have lived for generations, rarely leaving the comforts of the house. But, things are about to change as the man with the two fearsome black cats enters their lives. The family turn their backs on whatever dangers they may bring, but the Elder Paw tells Varjak of the Way and that it is time to venture over the high walls enclosing their world, and bring help from Outside. So begins Varjak’s journey into a dangerous new world, where he has a lot to learn about survival, the Way and himself. Effortlessly blending adventure and mystery with the philosophy of martial arts, this is a compelling journey of self-discovery. Dave McKean’s illustrations add to the intensity of SF Said’s gritty tale. Long may Varjak Paw keep the Way alive! Great for fans of Michelle Paver, Derek Landy, Philip Reeve and Robin Jarvis.
