Kitty Kitty

By Michele Jaffe

Sequel to Bad Kitty



Jas Callihan is once again trying to be a Model Daughter. Remember the LAST time she tried that? Yep, nothing good can come of this. This is how it came about.
Apparently, after the whole Las Vegas episode (you know, the whole almost-getting-killed thing?), her dad (who has recently upgraded his super-villain persona in Jas's head from the Thwarter to Dadzilla, snacking on her dreams rather than just thwarting them) didn't like the idea of her roaming around LA, and decided to move. To Venice, Italy. The day before her senior year of high school started. Which is so totally unfair. I mean, she DIDN'T get killed that time, and the police departments of two states had THANKED her,  and it TOTALLY wasn't her fault, and her friends and her boyfriend are all STILL IN LA!!
So, Jas figures, if they moved because she got into the TINIEST little bit of trouble, if she proved she could stay OUT of trouble, they could go home. Simple, right? Not for Jasmine Callihan, trouble magnet and crime scene just waiting to happen!
Instead, several very strange and worrying things happen: Her only friend in Venice, Arabella, says someone is following her and is going to kill her, the Evil Hench Twins Alyson and Veronique show up and ask to be called by their faerie names, and Jas decides to turn into Bad Jas, who later breaks off into a separate personality inside Jas's head. After she informs her friends of this fact and also refuses to stop associating with Arabella (like Polly told her to), her friends..... can you guess what they do? FLY TO VENICE FOR AN INTERVENTION INVOLVING MIND CONTROL GOGGLES, JAS'S DELTA WAVES, AND TEDDY GRAHAMS!! THAT'S WHAT THEY DO!! Oh, and by that point Arabella has been murdered, but the police think it's suicide and refuse to help. Read the book to find out about the soul-stealing glass kitty, Mutant Ninja Turtles, water wings, pizza, goldfish, and fully weaponized, mangy squirrel costume. Oh, and the Hench Twins latest Crimes Against Fashion.
THIS IS SUCH A GOOD BOOK! As with the previous book, hysterically funny, well written, and super cool! SO FUNNY! Jas's friends are nuts, but considering how often she gets into really weird trouble, that's probably a good thing.
