Overview
Some little ones leap before they look. This story is for them - and for the ones who love them.
Apple the cat has been told the rules a hundred times. Stay away from the busy road. Steer clear of the deep, cold pond. And never, ever go through the gap in the fence alone.
But when Pip falls asleep in the afternoon sunshine and the meadow calls, Apple's paws make the decision before his head can catch up.
What starts as the greatest adventure of his life - tall grass, dancing butterflies, a whole world to explore - slowly turns into something else. Because Apple didn't tell anyone where he was going. And now he's very far from home, very high up a tree, and very much alone.
Luckily, his little sister notices everything.
The Gap in the Fence is a gentle, warm, quietly funny story about two siblings who see the world completely differently - and need each other because of it. Children will love Apple's boundless energy and Pip's clever detective work. Parents will appreciate a story that celebrates adventurous spirits while showing, never preaching, why we tell someone where we're going.
The story ends not with a scolding, but with a plan - and a brand new adventure, taken together.
