The Tygrine Cat and its sequel, The Tygrine Cat: On the Run, were listed among The Independent's "50 books every child should read".A chance discovery on a London street set in motion the story of Inbali's second novel, The Bloodstone Bird, which was one of The Independent's "Best Winter Reads" for 2009/2010.
