Kerrie O’Connor found her passion for crafting stories at the age of eight. Transitioning to journalism, her work led her to Africa, where she encountered the children who inspired her dedicated writing. While journalism requires adherence to facts, Kerrie finds immense joy in returning home to invent narratives, particularly those involving children and animals. Her lifelong affection for creatures, especially cats, and her vivid imagination infuse her work with a distinctive and playful spirit.
Lucy and her little brother Ricardo follow their puppy and the mysterious, golden-eyed Tiger-cat into a secret tunnel leading to a foreign country - a country where children are held prisoner in the jungle.Cover designed by Jo Hunt.
