The Cat, the Cash, the Leap, and the List

Ten-year-old Martha has leadership skills. At least, that’s what her parents say. Her cousins, Sanjay and Anand, say she’s bossy.



When Martha secretly adopts a very pregnant cat from a garage sale free box right before her cousins come for a long visit, it puts a serious kink in her carefully laid plans for summer. That kink grows even bigger when the cat runs away. Still, Martha’s determined to give her cousins forty-two days of fun, Portland, Oregon style.



But ten-year-old Sanjay and eight-year-old Anand face troubles of their own. Anand must get strong enough to conquer the Tarzan rope that looms across the neighborhood swimming pool. And Sanjay has a big secret stashed in Martha’s attic.



Can they all work together to find Martha’s cat and newborn kittens? Or will the urban coyotes get them first?
