All Molly Byrne’s dreams come true when she is given a beautiful black and white kitten for her birthday. Ever since she moved to the countryside with her parent’s she had wanted a kitten of her own. She quickly becomes best friends with Lucky, the handsome young cat. The pair spend every moment together. When Molly goes to school Lucky is always waiting at the bottom of the house drive for her to come home. Except one day he isn’t there. Molly is devastated. While she was at school, Lucky had gone to visit a lonely old lady who lived nearby. Her son, thinking Lucky was a stray cat, who would be wonderful company for his mother put the little black and white cat into a pet carrier. He would be the ideal pet to accompany Mrs Flanagan to her new home at the opposite end of the country. Hours later, after arriving at her new home, Mrs Flanagan lets Lucky out of the pet carrier. All he wants to do is to get home, to Molly who he knows needs him. Ahead lies a long and perilous journey and a friendship with an old dog called Max. Will Lucky manage to get back to Molly, or will he be lost forever?
