Shy Cat and the Stuff-The-Bus Challenge

By Dian Day

"This is the story of everything that happened after my friend Kit had a meltdown at school."

Best friends Mila and Kit spend their days doing fun things: they go to the skate park, play Truth or Dare, and pet the neighborhood cats. Mila's favorite thing to do is draw her Shy Cat comics. But Kit's is probably eating afternoon snacks. The first time Kit went to Mila's house, he ate three bananas in a row without asking Mila thinks rude is rude, but her mom says that sometimes, rude is just hungry.

When Kit has a meltdown at school over a "best before" date, a bag of apples, and a dented can--Mila realizes there's something important she might have missed about her friend. And it all starts with their school's Stuff-the-Bus food drive challenge.
