Trim the Cat

Born on a rocking ship in the middle of the ocean, Trim is no ordinary cat.

Fearless, clever and full of heart, Trim sails into stormy seas and on grand adventures with his best friend and fellow explorer Matthew Flinders.

But when disaster strikes, Trim must find courage and hope – will he ever see his beloved captain again?
