Gr 3–5—Kelsey Case wants to be a detective. She has a spy backpack full of supplies and she's read Harriet the Spy. Now all she needs is a case. When Kelsey, Becca Morales, and Leo Polansky discover newborn kittens stuffed into a trash can, she knows she's found her mystery and maybe even a new best friend. The trio quickly hide the kittens in an old shed and form the Curious Cat Spy Club to find out who dumped the kittens and why. With red herrings, lots of twists and turns, and adventure, this caper is sure to keep kids entertained.
VERDICT A fun mystery series that's a sure bet for animal lovers, recommended to fans of Jane O'Connor's "Nancy Clancy, Super Sleuth" series (HarperCollins) who are ready for something a bit longer and ever-so-slightly darker.

Shy Kelsey, popular Becca, and weird Leo are an unlikely trio. When they discover three abandoned kittens in a dumpster, they are united in their resolve to find the responsible party. Forming the clandestine Curious Cat Spy Club, they discover that pets are disappearing all over town, and their secret alliance becomes harder to maintain. A treat for animal-loving fans of mysteries.
