Synopsis
PASHKI: The ancient Egyption art of moving like a cat.
THE CAT KIN: London's most unusual after school club.
But the Cat Kin are not the only ones with extraordinary skills. Ben Gallagher has stumbled on a far more sinister gang, ruled by a man with a horrific past. Deep beneath the city streets hides a deadly secret that Ben and Tiffany must uncover - but can the evil be stopped in time, even with the help of their remarkable new teacher, Geoff White? No one can hope to emerge unscathed when cat meets polecat.

Review
Nick Green has cranked up 'Cat's Paw, the sequel to Cat Kin by quite a few notches. The adventure is breathtaking from the first page onwards and just keeps on at a relentless pace for the whole book, with Ben and Tiffany seemingly on different paths. However Nick Green soon has us rooting for our heroes in trying to overcome the polecat bandits lead by Martin Fisher.
The whole of the Cat Kin have improved in their Pashki skills and in the second half of the book come into their own, but the superior skills of Ben and Tiffany are quite incredible and Nick Green makes sure that we know that for these kids it didn't come easy. They were all put in difficult situations to refine and hone and even learn some new very difficult skills. I truly felt for them because it was quite emotional at times.
But the children are teacherless because Mrs Powell has seemingly disappeared, and then quite mysteriously a new teacher appears in the form of Geoff White - how are these two are involved - well I'll let you read the book to find out. All I can say is that this is a brilliant book that I exhort you to read.
Nick has very kindly answered some questions on his books for us.
