The Cats of Caylor Academy: The Oceanus Sapphire

Karen Bitzer

What’s a girl to do when she’s the granddaughter of a powerful spellmaster—but has panic attacks?
What’s she supposed to do when her great-uncles are famous warriors—but she’s a self-proclaimed scaredy-cat?
And what about the fact that all three of them are professors at her school, The Caylor Academy for Magically Gifted Cats?
Sheba never asked for a legacy of greatness. But when a simple attempt to avoid school bullies spirals into an epic chase to stop a dangerous madman, she’s forced to face her fears. Can Sheba rise to the challenge and become the hero she never thought she could be? With the help of new friends—and maybe a little bit of magic—Sheba’s journey to find her courage is just beginning.
A fun, fast-paced, fantasy chapter book for kids ages 9 – 12, full of magical creatures, mostly kittens and cats, (don’t tell the others, but there is a dog, too).
A great gift for cat lovers of all ages that love magical realism and magical schools.
Book 1 of a 5-part series! Book 2 expected September 2025!
