October pick is Katie the Catsitter by Colleen AF Venable
Twelve-year-old Katie is dreading a boring summer alone in New York City while her best friend is away at camp—something that's way out of Katie and her mom's budget. That is, unless Katie can figure out a way to earn the money for camp herself. But when Katie gets a job cat sitting for her mysterious upstairs neighbor, Madeline, life gets interesting.
For starters, Madeline has 217 cats (!) and they're not exactly . . . normal. Also, why is she always out EXACTLY when the city's most notorious villain commits crimes?! Is it possible that Katie's upstairs neighbor is really a super villain? Can Katie wrangle a whole lot of wayward cats, save a best friendship (why is Beth barely writing back? And who's this boy she keeps talking about?!), AND crack the biggest story in the city's history? Some heroes have capes . . . Katie has cats!
Read the book beforehand and prepare for a fun discussion! Copies of the book will be available to check out prior to the meeting. This title is also available to download as an e-book.
Funding for this program is provided by the Ira and Frances Wood Charitable Trust.
