Review: Cat on the Run in Cat of Death!

Cat on the Run In Cat of Death!
By Aaron Blabey
New York: Scholastic, 2023. Intermediate. 187 pages.

Princess Beautiful is an internet sensation with millions of followers. She is incredibly famous and rich, so she takes advantage of that to do what she wants and command her employees to meet her every need. She's very exited for her date with the gorgeous billionaire heir, Catrick Cash, so she doesn't notice what's on the computer screen in her latest viral video. Unfortunately, the screen shows that she is accessing nuclear missile launch codes. Immediately, she goes from the most loved influencer to a hated cat on the run.

Aaron Blabey has written another addictive series with the Cat on the Run series. It's full of high stakes chases, mystery, and silly puns. Any lover of the Bad Guys will love this new series. It's a simple read with plenty of action so it would be great for new or reluctant readers. I will warn you that it ends with a brutal cliff hanger, so we'll all have to wait anxiously for the next installment.
