Paperback. Synopsis Hi, my name is Tempest. I'm 11, short and skinny. I have thick, brown hair that tangles like crazy when I run. I look like a broomstick upside down. Wallace is my jumpy, happy little brother; he's 8. We're bored at home because Mum and Dad work a lot, but they always say no to a pet. I could CRY for joy if I had a pet, especially a cat. I know everything about cats. Last Sunday, Wallace and I rescued a black-and-white kitten stuck in the big tree near our house. He had no tag or collar: we named him Pompon. I decided to keep him a secret from Mum and Dad, for just a few days, to prove to them that I could take care of a pet on my own.When I came back from school on Monday, Pompon had disappeared. I started investigating right away. I followed him to mysterious old man a strange factory over the river Thames to find out what was in the bag, but Mum called me back home before I could get inside.At home, clues pointed at Manie, our eccentric grandmother, who knew about Pompon. Could she have betrayed us?Climbing over Manie's balcony, I almost broke my neck trying to look for my kitten. I had to face an axe murderer, too. Well, not really: Lady Lavender was just a granny preparing lamb chops for dinner.In only a few days, I've rescued a kitten, kept it secret, lost it, faced scary strangers, and had to brave my fears.Who took him? Did I manage to save him and keep him as my pet? You'll know it if you read my story. Middle-grade detective chapter book, with life lessons of courage, friendship and prejudice. Tempest (11) and her brother Wallace (8) rescue a kitten - their dream pet - stuck a tree and decide to keep him in secret from their parents, but the kitten disappears. Tempest will overcome her fears to investigate, chase suspects and save her pet. This item is printed on demand.
