Invaders from outer space have descended on Nigeria. They have no idea whose home they''re messing with.

Ah, yes, the luxurious life of a well-loved cat. Itâs the best. And Periwinkle has it the cushiest. But thereâs more to this pampered pet than meets the eye. Heâs not just a house cat. Heâs a space cat. By day, heâs showered with scritches, cuddles, and delicious chicken fillets. By night, he races through the cosmos in his custom-built spaceship.

Between epic battles with squeaky toys and working on ways to improve his ship, Periwinkle is never bored. And when his humans decide to leave the United States and move to the small but bustling town of Kaleria, Nigeria, heâs excited to explore his new homeâ"even after he learns that many Nigerians hate cats. After all, a born adventurer like Periwinkle doesnât shy away from new experiences. But not everything in Kaleria is as it seems. Soon enough, Periwinkle finds himself on his most out-of-this-world adventure yet, right here on Earth.
