A Cat Called Q and the Magic Globe

A snow globe. A magical realm. A sandwich-loving cat.

When ten-year-old Sheri finds a strange snow globe in a charity shop, she doesnt expect it to swallow her whole. But within hours, she and her best friend Shawn are standing in another world entirely—a vivid, crumbling realm on the edge of collapse, guided by Q, a clever and opinionated cat with strong feelings about sandwiches and a knack for showing up exactly when things go wrong.

To get home, theyll have to save this world first. That means navigating perilous seas, an underground cave network, and a villain named Mallum whose magic is unraveling everything. It also means figuring out what theyre actually made of—because Q seems to think theyre capable of more than they believe.

A fast-moving fantasy adventure rooted in friendship, courage, and the quiet power of believing in yourself—with the natural world woven through every page.
