Charlie finally had his chance! With James's big baseball game and a flurry of human activity, the door was left ajar. A sun-soaked backyard was calling Charlie.

When his family left in a rush for James’s first baseball game, he was accidentally left behind. As the car drove away, Charlie found himself stuck outside.

A peaceful afternoon in the sun turned terrifying when a storm rolled in. Familiar shadows became monstrous shapes, and the quiet backyard echoed with unsettling sounds. Alone and frightened, Charlie’s familiar backyard turned into a wild and frightening place. Fear and hunger crept in…

Had his little adventure turned into a big, scary mistake?

Would he survive the storm? Would his family even notice he was gone?

This charming story created by Leslie Freedom is the first in the series of books about a little cat's courage. With delightful illustrations by Gambuzino, Charlie’s Big Adventure is more than a tale of being lost, it's about finding the inner strength to face fears.
