But finding a dead cat on her birthday? That ranks up there in her top-10 unluckiest moments. And not just because it was the ugliest dead thing she'd ever seen. No, it was more the chain of events that happened after. Like getting hosed down by a crazy cat lady who blames Sammy for her pet's violent end. And being chased through an alley by a guy with a cleaver. And being thrown in the ring by a cranky pro-wrestler called El Gato--oh, no wait, that was the good part of her day. |

| Publisher Description: Sammy's mom comes to town with a birthday bombshell... A strong female character looking for more than just a boyfriend. Highly recommended. --Children's Literature It's Sammy's birthday, which should be a good thing, right? Not when her mom lets her cat out and now he's missing. Not when Sammy finds three dead cats while she's looking for him. And not when a psycho cat lady blames Sammy because one of the dead cats belonged to her. Add a suspicious pro-wrestler named El Gato, a public cat-fight with her arch-enemy Heather, and a bombshell of a secret from her mom, and you've got a recipe for Sammy's worst birthday ever. Better luck next year, Sammy. |
