Recommended for ages 7+. Newsflash: Intrepid Reporter in Search of Big Story Meets Woman Who Thinks She's a Cat! And Minoes really is a cat-or was, until she sniffed around a mysterious barrel of chemicals. Trapped in her new human form but still exhibiting catlike traits, Minoes joins forces with Tibbe, the hapless reporter who found her up a tree. They enlist Bibi, Tibbe's eight-year-old neighbor, and Minoes's vast network of feline friends and relations (a cunning crew of well-informed talking cats) to save Tibbe's job, uncover a businessman's criminal activities, and earn some respect for the town's purring population.
