2 A.M. At The Cat’s Pajamas
by Marie-helene Bertino (Pan Macmillan, £10.99)
I adored this quirky and unique story with three hugely fascinating characters: nine-year-old Madeleine, her art teacher, Sarina, and Jack, owner of The Cat’s Pajamas jazz club. It’s told with such a distinctive voice. I hope you love it as much as I did.
