Add a Commenti really liked this book although it is a little bit weird. I thought it was kind of funny and suspenseful.
rosegold11 this book is weird . I mean frogs popping out cats mouth and diamonds out of her stepsisters . then jewel thieves captures there little brother. AND they go to vegas. Read it and you'll know what I mean!
ha ha this book sounds so weird
While Cat's astronaut mother circles the globe, Cat has to move halfway across the country to live with her dad and his new family. She has to share a room with her stepsister, Olivia, who goes out of her way to make life miserable for Cat at school and at home. When Cat's Great-Aunt Abyssinia comes to visit, Cat tells her everything in hopes that her aunt can do something to improve the situation. Fat chance! Things take a very strange turn as Olivia and Cat become the subjects of a media 'feeding-frenzy' and their little stepbrother, Geoffrey, is kidnapped. Can the two girls work together to save Geoffrey?
