It's a time of change for everyone is Josh's family - a relatively new stepdad and a brand new baby sister. For Josh's younger brother Jamie, the family upheaval has deeply disturbing consequences: he refuses to speak, and after a vivid, frightening dream develops an obsession with wild cats.
With his parents so preoccupied, it's up to Josh to be the peacemaker, the healer - and to unravel and find a cure for his brother's strange behaviour, and keep the family together. In helping Jamie to recover his voice, Josh discovers an unexpectedly resonant one of his own.
Catcall is a gripping and atmospheric novel, with a contemporary urban setting, full of powerful ideas, and blending deep psychological tension with fast-paced action. It is highly-acclaimed author Linda Newbery at her most compelling and insightful.
