Do you want to meet a published author

and receive a signed copy of their

fantastic book? If so, join Mrs Merchant

every week in the Library during Co-

Curricular to Read and discuss the book –

Spike and the Blue Chair.

The writer tells the story of her family and

their transition through grief and

bereavement. However, the story is told

through the eyes of Spike the Cat, who

joins them at the start of their crisis and

takes on the role of observer, protector

and helper.

Spike is curious about many things, but he

is especially curious about the blue chair.

One day, he discovers its magic and

begins to see how he can help his family

by gently leading them onto its seat. He is a cat with a purpose, helping his family

through the ‘rubbish days’ that slowly change into new hope and fresh beginnings.

He watches as they become a new blended family and learns what it means to

move on with courage and love.
