Praise for Miss Cat: The Case of the Curious Canary

Going for a noir tone...a sly caper featuring a particularly clever, observant, and memorably clad sleuth.
— Kirkus Reviews

The purrfect investigator... The illustrations, with strong black pencils and a vivid color palette, help with establishing a mysterious mood and antiquated atmosphere.
