Mur, the Kitty-Knight received a 2026 Purple Dragonfly Book Award (Honorable Mention) in the Chapter Books and Middle Grade Fiction categories.
A beautifully illustrated fantasy chapter book about a brave young cat on a quest to become a knight, perfect for independent readers ages 8-12 and read-aloud sessions with younger listeners.
When we first meet Mur, he is a wide-eyed kitten in the cozy animal kingdom of Kittengale, dreaming of becoming a knight. By the final chapter, that same cat stands in full armor, taller and stronger than his own father, and wiser than he ever imagined he could become.
Trained by the wise Master Shurko, Mur faces challenges that test far more than his sword skills. He befriends a fire-breathing dragon who turns out to be more lonely than dangerous. He solves clever riddles, rescues those in need, stands up to bullies, and learns that true strength comes not from fighting, but from kindness, patience, and knowing when not to fight.
Each of the 11 chapters is its own complete adventure with a gentle moral woven into the story, not as a lecture, but as something a child will feel. Short, self-contained chapters are perfect for one-adventure-per-evening bedtime reading.
Brought to life with 25 full-page, full-color illustrations by Roman Dubina, this coming-of-age tale blends modern fables with a timeless fantasy quest. A brave, kind hero kids can grow with from the first page to the very last. A rich world of talking animals, medieval kingdoms, starlit forests, and ancient warrior wisdom. Real suspense and real heart, including a dragon encounter, royal tournaments, daring rescues, and clever riddles.
Parents and teachers will appreciate the genuine coming-of-age arc where courage, honesty, empathy, and resilience are earned, not preached. The wholesome, timeless fairy-tale tone naturally supports character education for Grades 3-6. Ideal as a chapter book for confident readers and equally wonderful as a read-aloud for ages 5-7.
Book 1 in The Adventures of Cat-Knight Mur series.
