PAWS FOR CAT-ASTROPHE...

Eleven-year-old Robin wants to join a popular gang at school. They'll accept him, though only if he kidnaps the prize-winning cat of old Mrs. Nordling first.

When Robin sneaks into the Nordlings' house in the dark of night, he gets more than just a schoolyard thrill. An argument, strange sounds, a woman's cry, and the cat-hurled out of a room-are all Robin needs to grab the frisky kitty and get packing. But then Mr. Nordling, covered in his wife's blood, lurches out into the hallway, and Robin runs for his life...feline prize in hand.

A brutal crime has been committed. Mr. Nordling knows someone besides the cat witnessed it, and he will stop at nothing to learn who it was. But Robin, the cat-and an extremely nosy neighbor-have other ideas...
