I was asked by the incredibly talented writer Sophie Masson to illustrate her next junior fiction book, and obviously I couldn't say no!
It's the story of a teenage girl, living during the Roman age, encountering a very snobbish cat and going on an incredible adventure involving rats, magicians, kings... but mostly rats.
I created one full page black and white illustrations per each chapter, soon to be published in 2024 by Christmas Press.
