Hundreds
of cats are missing! Fear not-Penelope Ann Pickersgill and her hippie grandma
are on the case. While her friends go to cool camps, twelve-year-old Penelope
has to spend the summer with Grandma Bev, who is convinced that cat-eating
aliens are beaming the town's furry friends aboard their mother ship at night.
Lights in the sky point to UFO's, but Penelope is sure there's a more logical
explanation. With a little help from Sherlock Holmes, she and Grandma Bev set
out to find the cats. Will they be able to solve the mystery before all the
cats in Thornhill disappear?
Excerpt
A
loud whump-whump-whump echoed through the night sky, and we all spun toward the
noise. Martin’s sunglasses slipped off his face and onto the ground. Mary-Anne
stumbled backwards, crunching them beneath her feet. A bright light from above
sliced through the darkness, and I shielded my eyes as a hot wind kicked up
dust all around us and knocked over Mr. Sinclair’s two telescopes. The air
hummed with energy.
A
blinding light enveloped us like a giant glowing eyeball. My knees knocked
together. Martin and Mary-Anne clung to each other like a pair of frightened
puppies. Grandma Bev leaned into the furious breeze and threw on a pair of
enormous pink sunglasses. She grabbed her digital camera from her purse and
stuck out her chin defiantly. She snapped pictures of the mysterious bright
light. “I know what you have come for and this ends now!” she shouted. “Release
all the cats in the city this very moment. There will be no alien consumption
of cats if I have anything to say about it!”
