Purrfect Bully (Audiobook)

Clarice to the Rescue!

Once upon a time there was a girl who was being bullied. Luckily for her she had a little brother who happened to find out and decided to engage the services of Odelia Kingsley and her clowder of cats to ‘fix’ the bully. When I told our good friend Clarice about the situation, she was sincerely moved by the girl’s plight, and appointed herself the victim’s personal bodyguard. She felt very strongly that this most delicate matter required her personal brand of subtle diplomacy. In other words: she decided to go to town on the bully—with unforseen consequences for all of us.

Meanwhile Gran was answering the urgent cry for help from one of Hampton Cove’s residents who had been noticing suspicious activities on his block and wanted the neighborhood watch to put a stop to it. And since Chase decided that he had an interest in said suspicious activities, he invited himself to ride with the watch. Suffice it to say it was the watch patrol to end all watch patrols and things didn’t exactly go according to plan. But then when do they ever?

And finally a man jumped from the balcony of his room at the Star Hotel—or was he pushed? He landed right in front of Gran and Scarlett, enjoying their usual beverage, and when the man whispered his final words into Gran’s ear, it set in motion a series of events that led to our discovery of a new hype: the Plurtle. These were plastic turtles modeled after actual turtles being held in captivity. And while we were busy saving the poor creatures from imprisonment, the Plurtle craze exploded and brought things to a head, with members of our own household in the grip of the hype.
