About the Author

Deanna Kent and Neil Hooson have worked on books, brand and marketing campaigns, and interactive experiences. Deanna loves twinkle string lights, black licorice, and Edna Mode, and she may be the only person on the planet who says "teamwork makes the dream work" without a hint of sarcasm. Neil is king of a Les Paul guitar, makes killer enchiladas, and really wants aliens to land in his backyard. By far, their greatest creative challenge is raising four (very busy, very amazing) boys. Snazzy Cat Capers is their first chapter book series.

"More than a just sharply dressed classy kitty... Ophelia and Fishgerald squabble and lob quips with amusing ease." —Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

From the Publisher

2020-07-14
Top cat burglar Ophelia von Hairball V gets the most important assignment of her life in this sequel to Snazzy Cat Capers (2018).

A cat-astrophe is looming over the Furry Feline Burglary Institute, and they need their best agent to solve the puzzle of a lifetime. That would be Ophelia, a fluffy, white cat fond of manicures and old-fashioned heists. When Director MEW announces that all the resources of the FFBI will be at her disposal as she races to save the cat world from a threat from the Central Canine Intelligence Agency, her cousin, Pierre, who keeps his second-place standing through nefarious means, is out of his mind with envy. Once she realizes that a CCIA agent has moved in next door and is watching her every move, Ophelia has to outsmart and outmaneuver two enemies at once to win this race. She does so with an abundance of style and class. The mission’s emphasis on saving the cat world reduces the moral ambiguity of Ophelia’s burgling escapades (and she always returns her treasures—eventually). Kent’s prose is outlandishly sprinkled with animal puns, and Ophelia’s sidekick, Oscar the inventor (a goldfish), provides additional comic relief with his costumes and anxious personality. Ophelia’s confidence and competence will draw readers back to this series for more dangerous, lawless adventures. Full pages of humorous graphic panels and illustrations amusingly break up the text for young chapter-book readers.

Bubbles with personality. (Fiction. 8-11)
