In 356 A.D. fire consumed Egypt’s great Library of Iskandriyah and the arsonists believed they destroyed every book. They were wrong. The seven most powerful mystical books were carried to safety and entrusted to seven unusual cats.
Centuries later, one of those treasured manuscripts, The Book of Motion, is in imminent danger again.
When Marco, a tabby cat with advanced reading skills, wanders into the local library he never expects to be recruited into the noble line of Guardian Cats.
He has barely begun his apprentice training when he is confronted by a vengeful former apprentice, a trio of criminally-minded raccoons, and an evil Professor, skilled in the black arts, who will stop at nothing to possess the Book for the power it will give him.

Thanks!
Marco had imagined his new calling would make him a hero, like the characters in his adventure stories. However, when fire threatens the safety of the ancient manuscript and he narrowly escapes death, Marco questions the motives of some of his closest friends and fears he might be in over his head.
Defending the Book is a tall order for a small cat, but more important is Marco’s crucial discovery about what it means to be a hero.
