Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is a fast-moving mystery adventure that readers of James Howe's Sebastian Barth series will enjoy."

About the Author

Peg Kehret was born in Wisconsin, grew up in Minnesota, spent fourteen years in California, and now lives with her husband in Washington State. They have two grown children, four grandchildren, one dog, and one cat.

Peg's novels for children are regularly recommended by the American Library Association, the International Reading Association, and the Children's Book Council. She has won many state "young reader" or "children's choice" awards. Peg's characters are ordinary kids who find themselves in exciting situations and who use their wits to solve their problems. There is usually humor as well as suspense in her books. A long-time volunteer at The Humane Society, she often uses animals in her stories.

Before she began writing books for children, Peg published plays, short stories, articles, and two books for adults. She is a frequent speaker at conferences for librarians and teachers.

At the age of twelve, Peg had polio and was paralyzed from the neck down. Because she can remember that experience and her year of recovery so vividly, she finds it easy to write in the viewpoint of a twelve or thirteen year old. Most of her main characters are that age. Her autobiography, Small Steps: The Year I Got Polio, won the Golden Kite Award from the Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators, and the PEN Center USA West Award for Children's Literature.

When she is not writing, Peg likes to watch baseball, bake cookies, and pump her old player piano.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I've published 53 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Read

I like to read all the books before giving them as gifts to kids in my family. It gives me future discussion items to have with them and hope it works to encourage they read more. This book was a big hit for me. There was an element of concern over what will happen to the books main character and the cat too, but without being overly stressed. I don't like given the kids books with major life drama or injury, we get enough of this on the daily news. So for any kids that is also a cat lover they will get a kick out of the book. Entertaining and true to the age group reading level too. I have given this book to at least 3 children with no complaints heard.

This was a replacement copy for a well loved book in the library that was missing when we did invetory. I have to reorder Peg Kehret's books a lot as they come and go off the library shelves in the elementary school so fast, they need replacing every so often. Kids love Pegs mystery stories that involved her pet cat Pete -he helped write them you know! Make for a FUN READ!

I love cat books especially cat mysteries. This one was the first I have read by Peg Kehret and I enjoyed it very much. I usually read bigger books but this was able to tell the story with the size given. The cat of course did his part in solving the crime. I will definitely buy more in this series of cat mysteries.
