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)
