Phantasmagorical, a fabulous combination of wildlife and superheroes brought together with lots of beautifully painted illustrations, is the third adventure following a group of wildcats living in a zoo. The story is recommended for 5-7 year olds - but adults are promised to enjoy it as well. The book, written and illustrated by Coventry-based Terry McManus, is due to be published on the Friday 28 February.

All is about to change as ghost-like visitors bear fantastic gifts for each of the four big cats. Rocky the patriotic Canadian Cougar. Stripes the beautifully handsome Bengal tiger. Rosa the strong noble jaguar filled with dreams of Balam. Leo-pard the thoughtful captive bred Leopard.

Join them again as the final piece of this amazing magical puzzle falls into place. The third in the trilogy, Phantasmagorical is a full colour children’s picture book. It is set in the grounds of ‘My Zoo’, a great home to all its animals, being a warm, safe haven with plenty of treats and doting staff.

The only problem is that all bar Rosa have tasted freedom and want more. Leopard had safely led the way out on the first trip to spend just one more night under the glorious stars as his ancestors had in Africa. This time can all four make it and will they get help?

This richly illustrated story introduces children to the importance of friendships, teamwork and how using our own special gifts wisely can make such a difference to others.
