Bookroo's summary
Mewkiss, a kitten with an unfortunate name, faces a daunting challenge. Despite being mocked by a puppy, he must summon bravery to defend his human, Jessica, from a rat family plotting in the basement. Can Mewkiss overcome his insecurities and prove his worth when it matters most? Dive into this tale of unexpected heroism and discover if a name truly defines one's courage.
From the publisher
Ugh! What kind of a name is Mewkiss? The kitten loves his person, Jessica, but he had hoped for a name like Fearless or Ratkiller. It’s hard to be brave with such a totally disgusting name. Even Barkus, a know-nothing puppy, calls Mewkiss a coward. Mewkiss has to be brave, because a family of rats has taken up residence in the basement where Jessica and her brother have a playhouse. And they’re planning to attack Jessica! How is a cat named Mewkiss going to find the courage to protect the person he loves?
