Sophie Red Dot - The Book of Magical Creatures - May Oldchess

May Oldchess is an IT executive, code artist, and story crafter with a deep love of magic. She lives with her family in Zurich. In her hobby basement, you’ll find robots, VR headsets – and of course, lots of video games. The idea for Sophie Red Dot was born from the delightfully chaotic life she shares with her nearly 9-year-old daughter, her husband – and their three cats, who each play a special role in their home. Cupcake, the cheeky adventurer with the mightiest purr the world has ever heard. Muffin, the tuna-loving sweetheart, proves that love sometimes smells like fish. Cookie, the fearless huntress, shows no tree is too tall if you truly believe in yourself. These three unique personalities come together in Taro, the mischievous cat – adding heart, humour, and a touch of chaos to the magical story that makes it feel oh so real.

Blurb:

A red dot. A talking cat. A world full of magic. Sophie Dupont thought magic was make-believe until her eleventh birthday. The red dot above her eyebrow? Not just a birthmark. The stuffed cat from that odd little shop? Now it talks. With her cheeky companion Taro, Sophie discovers she’s a Red Dot, chosen to protect magical creatures and fulfil an ancient destiny. Adventure, danger, and wonder await in this tale for everyone who still believes in magic.
