Ginger's long way home

Ginger is a lively and loyal cat who has made a comfortable home in the Cornish seaside town of Mevagissey. Jim and Tom, the kind owners of the local fish-and-chip shop and pub, look after him.

Everything changes when Ginger falls asleep in a barrel and is unknowingly carried away by a brewery lorry. He wakes in an unfamiliar town, a long way from the people and places he knows.

Determined to return, Ginger begins a journey filled with helpful strangers, unexpected dangers and tests of courage. Can he make it back to Mevagissey and be reunited with Jim and Tom?
