Catherine Gilbert Murdock

Welcome. 
I write books for great kids and smart grownups.


My latest novel is Da Vinci's Cat​, a time-travel adventure with a lonely prince, the Brooklyn girl who saves him, and chocolate. You'll love it. 


Picture
Two unlikely friends—Federico in sixteenth-century Rome, and Bee in present-day New Jersey—are linked through a friendly cat, a mysterious wardrobe, and an eerie portrait. A thrilling fantasy about desperately rewriting history to save the here and now.
