Land of the Last Wildcat offers not just an exciting journey, but also a touching exploration of family bonds and friendship.
Ten-year-old Puffin Lau grew up enchanted by stories of the kuri, an orange wildcat from Linger Island said to possess magical powers. Though believed to be extinct, Puffin's world is turned upside down when she discovers a captive kuri at the lab where her mother works. Joined by her friend Lance, Puffin embarks on a daring rescue mission. Together, with the support of unexpected allies and pursued by a nefarious scientist, they must return the kuri to Linger Island to save its life.
This delightful adventure captures the reader’s heart with Puffin, a determined and brave young protagonist, who also grapples with feelings of neglect from her busy scientist mother, while missing her deceased father. The story offers not just an exciting journey, but also a touching exploration of family bonds and friendship. I enjoyed meeting the mythical kuri and visiting the enchanting Linger Island, a fascinating backdrop to this heartwarming tale.
