Bøker i Pepper Masalah-serien

Pepper Masalah and the Flying Carpet takes us on a magic carpet adventure with black cat Pepper and her 9-year-old human, Zamir. Stranded in a distant land, how will they find their way back home to Australia? The author blends culture, legend and history throughout the story. This is the first junior fiction novel in the series by Rosanne Hawke.

The carpet lands in the River Nile. After Pepper has a run-in with a crocodile, she and Zam are taken to a temple to be safe. Here cats are revered and Pepper most of all. She is so special the attendants want to make a mummy of her.

The carpet is shot at over Afghanistan and the Simurgh (a giant bird from Persian folklore) snatches Pepper from the carpet to feed her young when they hatch. The carpet is disorientated without Pepper and disappears after Zam falls off. He makes the long climb up the mountain to find Pepper. How will they get home to Australia without the carpet?
