Part of the The Cat Pack series
Cats risk it all for healing leaves in enemy territory. Will they return unscathed?
Injured hero Texas Jake needs healing, and only comfrey leaves can help. Marco and Polo, daring members of the Club of Mysteries, embark on a perilous quest to the city dump, ruled by the fearsome Steak Knife. With rumors of missing tails haunting their mission, the stakes are high. Can they outsmart the notorious gang and return with the precious leaves—and their own tails intact? Adventure and danger await in this thrilling feline escapade.
Texas Jake is on the mend… and the fur is really flying. Texas Jake, the big yellow tomcat, was badly injured saving his friends from the huge mastiff Bertram the Bad. Now the other cats in the Club of Mysteries are looking for ways to speed Texas Jake’s recovery – perhaps earn the right to take his place as leader of the club. Marco and Polo have taken on the riskiest mission of all – gathering some comfrey leaves to heal Texas Jake’s wounds. The problem is, comfrey grows only at the city dump, and that’s the turf of the dreaded Steak Knife and his gang. Steak Knife is rumored to have a collection of tails of his victims – and not just mouse and bird tails either! Soon the brothers are up to their whiskers in danger. Will Marco and Polo return with the goods – and with their tails?
