A Mystery Book for Kids (set in the 1980s) After finding the body of her neighbor’s murdered cat, 12-year-old newspaper girl Jenny Krigler uses skills she's learned from watching television detective Magnum P.I. to launch her own investigation of the crime. She surprises even herself when her spy tactics work--a little too well. Grab your shoulder pads and Jolly Rancher candy. CATCHING KATIL will take you back to a time of the original Smurfs, big hair, and awesome music.Here's what one librarian said about this spy book for kids"Imagine Harriet the Spy moonwalking in penny loafers, but even better!" --John Hancock Charter School, Pleasant Grove, Utah.Back cover text for Catching Katil"I’ve gone to church my whole life, which is probably why I’ve never heard Satan’s voice before, but if I had heard it, I’m pretty sure it would sound just like Craig does at this very instant. Terror does funny things to a kid. At the one time in my life when I should run, I can’t. My feet are stuck to the crate, like someone dumped a gallon of super glue on it." --Jenny Krigler, age 12
