I & the Scaredy Cat

By: Gabriel, Amber

You never know what you'll find in Aunt Mysti's junk drawer.

I've always wanted a pet, but since my parents are deployed and I live with my Aunt Mysti, I've had to make do with walking the neighbor's dog. When a stray cat starts living in our garage, I try to earn its trust. Skittish and easily scared, the cat proves hard to win over.

I take care of the cat as best I can, but with the frisbee golf tournament happening at school this week, I can't afford to be distracted. My friend Payton and I have been practicing for weeks. We plan to win it all. A magic pair of earbuds from my aunt's junk drawer gives me a peek into the cat's mind, and I'm forced to make a choice that could ruin everything.

I never expected a cat would cause me so much trouble.

Put yourself in the role of protagonist and follow "I" on this relatable, entertaining journey to empathy. Perfect for fans of Edward Eager.

Content to consider: A deployed parent misses a scheduled video call. References to cat litter and cleaning up after pets. Mild feline peril. A character leaves a designated area without permission.
