Escape through the magic cat flap and join your new favorite cat and bunny duo as they face off against a grumpy pirate captain, uncover a secret treasure map, and attempt to escape MONSTER ISLAND. Readers of Bad Guys will giggle their way through this illustrated and purr-fectly charming chapter book series.

Murray is a cat. He loves naps and blankets and snacks.

Bun is a bunny. He loves…EVERYTHING!

They have a magic cat flap. Sometimes it leads to the garden, but mostly it leads to…ADVENTURE!

When Murray and Bun travel through the cat flap, they find themselves in a land of PIRATES! It's high stakes on the high seas when Murray and Bun are kidnapped by the dreaded pirate Captain Patch. And once they discover a secret map that takes them to MONSTER ISLAND, it's up to Murray and Bun to dig up the buried treasure--or risk walking the plank. 

Award-winning author-illustrator Adam Stower sails straight into hijinks in this humorous illustrated series. And don't miss the bonus content that includes a postcard from Murray, Murray's Family Album, and much more!
