Snazzy Cat Capers
Written by Deanna Kent, Illustrated by Neil Hooson
A brand-new series featuring the fashionable cat burglar Ophelia Von Hairball V. The Furry Feline Burglary Institute (FFBI) is hosting their annual competition to determine the number one cat burglar. Ophelia always wins, but this year someone is sabotaging her thieving plans. On top of this, the CEO of the FFBI has insisted that Ophelia has a partner in crime and is given her 17th sidekick this year. Ophelia works alone and is annoyed by her energetic goldfish sidekick Oscar Fishgerald Gold. Ophelia is trying to dump Oscar while outsmarting her opponent and evading the CCIA (Central Canine Intelligence Agency.) Can she accomplish all this with style and class? Read Snazzy Cat Capers and find out.
Fans of My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish will enjoy this book because it is funny and full of adventure. I found the story engaging and filled with subtle references to famous spy movies for the attentive reader. The author places a unique spin on the classic cats vs. dogs scenario, with cats staying on top. Cannot wait for book two coming out in 2019.
