Brooklyn Cats Undercover: The Spike and Murphy Files

Perfect for anyone who's ever suspected their pets might have a secret life!

At first glance, Spike and Murphy are just two lazy cats lounging in a Brooklyn window. But, Alana, their sharp-eyed, adventure-loving, almost 10 1/4 year old human is certain her cats are up to something. And when she finally stays up late enough to catch them in the act of TALKING...to pigeons in tiny fedoras no less-she stumbles into the secret mission of a lifetime.

Spike and Murphy aren't just pets. They're part of a secret network of animals protecting New York City. In this adventure they need Alana's help to save one of the last original trees in the City and the magical agreement that keeps the city's parks and gardens safe.

From a quiet Brooklyn community garden to the dazzling lights of Times Square, Alana and her feline partners must race against time, uncovering secrets, and teaming up with some very unexpected allies.

Perfect for readers aged 7-11 and their parents!
