In this latest graphic novel about Babymouse, we catch a glimpse of gym class at her school. Just like in the school I went to, there is a much-dreaded dodge ball tournament every year. The thing is, though, that Babymouse has always found a way to get out of participating… Until this year. Her teacher warns her that there will be no excuses — and that the class participation grade will go on everyone’s permanent record! What will Babymouse do?!? Will Felicia Furrypaws reign supreme again, or will Babymouse actually come through as her team’s hero? Find out for yourself!
Happy Reading!

OK… So, I was pretty excited about the Hardy Boys graphic novels, but I am REALLY excited about the Babymouse series by Jennifer & Matthew Holm. Comic books and graphic novels have largely been a “boy thing,” but Babymouse is your typical Tween GIRL — except, of course, for the fact that she is a mouse! She dreams of being popular (“Queen of the World,” technically), she tries hard to make her hair (whiskers) look cool, she struggles to get to class on time… You know the deal. Well, when one of the popular girls has a sleepover, Babymouse decides that she needs to get an invitation any way she can. Will she be invited? Will she even like it if she can go? Find out for yourself when you read the book!
Happy Reading!

This latest “dossier” from The Stink Files is HILARIOUS! I am very fond of Mr. Stink, but I think that this story has more than the usual adventure and humor… It also has a mystery. Namely, the fact that a lot of cats think Mr. Stink is a royal Bengal cat named “Furrdinand” — son of Queen Furrypaws, and descendant of the great King Artfur. Mr. Stink always heard the stories of Catlandia when he was a kitten, so he is not sure what to believe now. Were they just stories? Is someone playing a joke on him? Read this book to find out for yourself!

To Scratch a Thief, the second book of the “Stink Files” series, was written by Holm & Hamel — two mysterious authors who won’t tell their first names and only hint at where they live and which pets they may or may not own… Obviously, they are all about mystery!
Agent James Edward Bristlefur is a British cat with some secret agent training. He used to help his human solve crimes all over Europe. That is, until the human was murdered by a polydactyl feline named Macavity. (No, that isn’t some sort of dinosaur! It’s a six-toed cat, silly.) Now, Bristlefur has found himself forcibly relocated to the United States (New Jersey to be exact), and he has even been renamed by his new family.
Mr. Stink doesn’t appreciate the jokes about his new name, and he really hates that his new family’s business (Parkside Pet Foods Store) is being targeted by some cat burglars. Are the problems in New Jersey related to the trouble in Europe? Is Macavity at the center of it all? Will Mr. Stink be able to keep his new family — and himself — safe from harm? You’ll have to read the story to find out!
