But what Suzy doesn’t like is straying far from home… One day she finds a cosy little basket, clambers in and falls asleep. When she wakes she discovers she is actually in the basket of a hot air balloon, which has taken her all the way to England. How is she ever going to find her way back home? The funny and heartwarming story of a little cat making a big journey, and learning all sorts of things about herself on the way!
