Description

Highland Cat (HC) is no ordinary cat. In fact, he’s one of the greatest detectives there is (or at least that’s how he describes himself).

Growing up in the Scottish Highlands has helped HC to hone his detective skills, but he knows that it’s time to explore the world, making some wonderful friends along the way and unlocking some great subjects.

In this book HC sets out to explore the world and meets a genius inventor acquaintance Bob Robin (BR). Bob is a fascinating character and HC is impressed with just how easily Bob is able to find ways to help them on their journey.

Together, they investigate Planet Earth and learn about its age and how many layers there are. Thanks to BR, they are both whisked away on a brilliant red rocket to gain a unique perspective on the Earth from space. They quickly learn about gravity and how the earth protects us all from harmful radiation.

This is a story of adventure, exploration and friendships. Join The Highland Cat Detective on this amazing journey.
