Bookroo's summary

Alfie Jakes, a spirited seven-year-old, faces a dilemma when she falls for a kitten despite her family's strict no-pet rule due to her supposed allergy. Convinced she's outgrown it, Alfie decides to secretly bring the kitten home. But hiding a playful kitten proves more challenging than she imagined. Will Alfie manage to keep her furry friend a secret, or will her plan unravel? Dive into Alfie's world of mischief and heartwarming moments as she navigates friendship, family rules, and the love for a tiny gray kitten.

From the publisher

Seven-year-old Alfie Jakes has a kitten-sized secret in her debut chapter book–perfect for fans of the Judy Moody books! Seven-year-old Alfie Jakes isn’t thrilled when her mom organizes end-of-summer playdates with her soon-to-be classmate, Hanni. Hanni is kind of bossy. So Alfie is relieved when Hanni is more fun to play with then she thought. Even better, she shows Alfie her cat–who has kittens! Alfie immediately falls in love with a little gray kitten and wants to give it a home. But one of the Jakes’ house rules is ‘no pets’ because Alfie is supposedly alergic. Alfie is sure she’s outgrown that allergy, but how can she convince her parents? Wouldn’t it be better to sneak the kitten home and PROVE that she’s not allergic? But keeping a kitten a secret is lot harder than she ever thought!
