The Outlaw Varjak Paw

Product Information

Hello Rose, and thank you so much for that brilliant comment! I love it when I find a book that I can't stop reading, so it's fantastic to hear that you felt like that about The Outlaw Varjak Paw! I hope you'll enjoy my other books too! In the meantime, I hope you'll try my new book Phoenix. It's not a Varjak Paw story; not even cats and dogs this time, but humans and aliens instead. Nevertheless, if you like Varjak, I think you'll find lots of things to like in Phoenix, too – it has very similar themes underneath the surface. SF Said's first book, Varjak Paw, won the Nestlé Smarties Prize for Children's Literature. The sequel, The Outlaw Varjak Paw, won the BBC Blue Peter Book Of The Year. Phoenix is his third book. He has written widely about literature, films and the arts for The Guardian and The Daily Telegraph; and works regularly with CLPE, promoting reading and literacy in schools. I read both the books in about 2 weeks, when I started reading them I couldn't stop, you HAVE to release that third book! You have really inspired me to start getting into making cat books again. :D -Adam I loved Laura Ovendon's review for Just Imagine, which said: "For me, this novel deserves to become a children’s classic. It belongs in every school library and will inspire many, many children, teachers and librarians."

He's never left home, until he receives a mysterious visit from his grandfather who tells him about The Way - a secret martial art for cats. i love your books!! im from a school that you know, you will soon get to see that i am a big fan of you!!! please realease the third book!! (I am from Oakridge combined school!!) With the children, develop a framework for a suspense story that is based on one of Varjak’s adventures in the city.

You'r books are the exact books that I love! thank you. Hello, I have been reading your books for 2 Years and I have to say that they were fantastic, the names of every Character and the detailed storyline has got me glued to the book, but for one question, where did you get the name Varjak from? Because umm a long time ago I once had a Human Warrior Character named Varjak and I was surprised that the name was used, I am not mad about this because I know alot of people have also used the name too. The book's title and protagonist's name come from Said's own cat named Varjak, whose name is a reference to the film Breakfast at Tiffany's. In the film, one of the main characters, Paul Varjak, has written a book called "Nine Lives". When he and another character look for the book in the library catalog, it is listed as "Nine Lives by Varjak, Paul". S. F. Said is a British Muslim children’s author. Born in Lebanon he grew up in London, known as ‘S.F.’ because few of his friends could pronounce his Arabic name.SF Said, the author of the series, named Varjak after his own cat. The name came from a mis-hearing of a line in the 1961 film Breakfast At Tiffany's. He believes it is originally a Polish name, meaning 'warrior'.
