This is the first book by D.B. Borton that I’ve had the pleasure of reading. It was well-written, and I loved the characters of Cat and Moses, as well as their friends. This is the eleventh book in the series, but I didn’t need to read any of the previous ones in order for this one to make sense to me.<\/p>\nAbout the Author<\/h2>\n
