The Battle of Athens — Jon Degnan

“I've walked the yellow brick road with Dorothy. Sneaked through the mines of Moria with the fellowship, conquered the known world with Alexander the great, climbed atop the tower with the last gunslinger and revelled as Harry Potter defeated the Dark Lord, all through this chest...” When two ordinary girls discover a magical chest in their attic guarded by a five hundred year old cat named Twilight, they are whisked through time and space to another where and when. Soon they realise the mysterious chest has a mind of its own and has taken them back to The American Civil War. The Battle of Athens is the first book in the short story adventures of Princess Kara and Caetsie Cats.
