Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6?Despite the series title, Kehret's latest offering is more mystery than horror. This first installment introduces Kayo Benton, baseball fanatic, and Rosie Saunders, brain, founding members of the Care Club. The girls share a love of animals and complement and encourage one another. They enter their pets in a cat show in hopes of winning the $100 first prize, which they plan to donate to the Humane Society. However, neither wins the cash, and Kayo's cat Webster is stolen. When the two friends track the thief, they are kidnapped by him and his accomplice, who turn out to be the same thieves who have been terrorizing the neighborhood. The youngsters manage to foil the robbers and rescue both Webster and Kayo's mother's stolen silver tea set. Kehret's style and story line are more engaging than most mystery series aimed at this age group. A promising beginning to a series that's sure to be popular.?Christina Dorr, Calcium Primary School, NY

Help! Thief!
Everything was topsy-turvy, the house was wrecked, and Grandma Kearney's silver tea set was gone. Kayo Benton was scared. At least her cats and baseball collectibles were safe. Trying to forget about the robbery, Kayo and her best friend, Rosie Saunders, enter their pets in the cat show, aiming at the $100 first prize. They've decorated the cages. Everything looks terrific -- until Rosie's cat, Webster, disappears! No one will help, so the girls investigate on their own. They find the cat -- but the burglar finds them. How will Kayo and Rosie escape?

More About the Author
I've published 45 books; all but two are for children. I wrote magazine articles, short stories, and plays for many years before I discovered that what I like best is to write books for kids.
When I was twelve, I was paralyzed with polio. I made almost a full recovery but I remember that time of my life so clearly that it's easy for me to write from the viewpoint of a twelve or thirteen-year-old.
I'm always thrilled when one of my books wins a state young reader award, because I know those awards are voted on by children.
I am a widow who was married for 48 years. I have two grown children and four grandchildren. I live on a small wildlife sanctuary near Mt. Rainier National Park and I often have deer and elk in my yard.
