Synopsis

Lara the Runaway Cat Lara doesn’t realise how good she has it in her home in Edinburgh with her owners, Dion and Lucja, and of course her sister, Gobi. If she’s being honest, she’s jealous of Gobi’s fame and the international attention she has received ever since Dion found her. Okay, Gobi may have survived an ultra-marathon across the Gobi Desert, but it’s not as if Lara doesn’t her fresh prawns! She dreams about the day when she can go outdoors and see the world, discover new friends and be free to make her own name. But Lara’s wishful thinking gets the better of her as she takes a leap into the unknown and is forced to decide between her loyalties to her family and need to experience an adventure to rival Gobi’s. Join Lara in her eventful travels from Edinburgh to France, Beijing to Australia, where she is faced with challenges that will change her life forever. Following on from the astounding real-life story of Dion Leonard, this fictionalised tale is a must-read for animal lovers everywhere.

About Dion Leonard

Dion Leonard is an ultramarathon runner who has raced across the planet’s most inhospitable landscapes, such as the brutal Moroccan Sahara desert and South Africa’s Kalahari Desert. One race across the Gobi Desert in China turned out to be a completely different experience when Dion fell in love with a stray dog (later named Gobi) who followed him during the week and completed the race alongside him. Today, Dion and Gobi, along with Dion’s wife, Lucja, share Gobi’s amazing story in their bestselling books and speaking events.

Zoals altijd trekken kattenboeken gelijk mijn aandacht. Dus toen we de kans kregen om ‘Lara, kat op avontuur’ te recenseren voor Uitgeverij HarperCollins zei ik natuurlijk geen nee.

Goodreads review by Teresa on February 12, 2019

A must for anyone needing hope, even if you’re not a cat lover. You might think from the title that this is a children’s book. It is an excellent choice for sharing with the children in your life. But it’s not really about a cat, even though it’s written in first-person from the cat’s point of view.......more

Very cute book! It was an enjoyable easy read for someone who typically likes bigger books. I would definitely recommend this to someone who wants a feel-good story.
