About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts questioning the status quo or needs a fun way to explore the idea of being the only one who notices something is wrong. It is a perfect choice for kids who enjoy a bit of 'creepy-cool' mystery but still need a story rooted in the fierce loyalty between a pet and its owner. The story follows Mellie and her cat, Bert, as they battle a suspicious corporation that has turned the town's adults into mind-controlled consumers. While it features some spooky elements, the heart of the story is about bravery and the drive to save those we love. It is highly appropriate for the elementary crowd, offering a fast-paced adventure that validates a child's intuition and sense of justice.
