The classic story about a cat in danger of using up all of her nine
lives from the author of The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark.
Suzy is a little striped cat, who lives in a French seaside village with
a fisherman and his four sons. Like all cats, Suzy is very inquisitive,
which causes problems when she climbs into the basket of a hot air
balloon - and is carried off over the channel to England! How will she
ever get back to France? It won't be easy, but Suzy refuses to be put
off by a bit of water.

Jill Tomlinson never intended to be a writer. She trained as an opera
singer, and then decided to have a family whilst her voice matured. But
illness intervened, and she had to find another outlet for her energies.
She started on a journalism course, and by the third lesson decided she
wanted to write for children. So she did! Jill Tomlinson's animal
stories are much-loved and have been best-selling children's books for
nearly four decades.
