About This Book

When a new sitter arrives and a movie star goes missing, Dog Man and Cat Kid investigate, but Petey, the world's most evil cat, complicates their case.

Our Review

When a new pet sitter arrives and a glamorous movie star suddenly vanishes, Dog Man and his newly adopted sidekick, Cat Kid, leap into action to solve the case. Their investigation is hilariously complicated by the return of Petey, the world's most evil cat, whose own villainous schemes create a chaotic and unpredictable adventure. This graphic novel masterfully blends laugh-out-loud humor with a surprisingly heartfelt story about found family and doing the right thing, even when it's difficult.

Pilkey's signature style—complete with flip-o-ramas and charmingly crude artwork—shines, delivering fast-paced action and visual gags that will keep readers glued to the page. The dynamic between the noble Dog Man and the morally conflicted Cat Kid adds a compelling layer of depth, exploring themes of identity and choosing your own path. Young readers who devour action-packed comics with heart will find this an utterly irresistible and satisfying read.
