Kippy Schofield’s Adventures with the Fantasical Cat
Here’s the set-up:
Kippy loves the only life he has ever known on the island of Kona, Hawaii. He is cared for by Alba the housekeeper. H e spends his days swimming with the Turtles, playing with his friends, and occasionally, he even goes to school.
.
One day a letter arrives, congratulating his big brother Scotty for being accepted into Oxford. From that moment on life changes for Kippy. He is relocated to the old family home in England where he feels abandoned. He shares his days with his new nanny the horrid Nanny B Meane. Things continued to get worse in his world when his mother re-marries and takes an extended honey moon and he is left alone with the worse Nanny ever!
.
One day, Kippy ventures down to the bottom of the garden. Scotty told him about the magic rock he discovered when he was very little. Once Kippy finds the rock he is taken on many adventures by the fantastical cat. On his first adventure he meets the dancing rabbits. On his second adventure he finds himself with Grandpa Mole and his family of moles who dance around the Mole pole until they’re happy. Kippy briefly attends the hedgehog school and becomes a member of the exclusive ‘boys club.’
.
Now Kippy has met the fantastical cat things are different in his world. Even though he’s not attending a real school Kippy learns valuable life lessons while having fun at the same time. The fantastical cat tells Kippy that things will change for the better, and sure enough, on his tenth birthday, Gramps and Grandma arrive and banish Nanny B Meane forever.
