Fashion Kitty and the B.O.Y.S.
Fashion Kitty and the B.O.Y.S. (Ball of Yellow String)

Fashion Kitty is back and her fans will still love her.
In an illustrated novel format Fashion Kitty has a new challenge. Leon Lambaster III, who comes from a long line of inventors, creates the CKF club (Catch Fashion Kitty), he even designs his own t-shirt.
Then the teachers, including the librarian, come up with a t-shirt fashion show idea. They want the kitties at school to design their own t-shirts based on something they’ve read in a book.
One day, Kiki (aka Fashion Kitty) sees Leon’s CKF t-shirt with Fashion Kitty’s face crossed out and wonders “why would he not like Fashion Kitty?” Is there a super villan wanting to hurt Fashion Kitty?
The day of the fashion show Leon steals all of the kitties’ t-shirts and plans to catch Fashion Kitty using his father’s inventions. (Inventions that were meant to be used only for good.) Then it’s Fashion Kitty to save the show.
At the back of the Advanced Reading Copy are Creative Ideas for Creative Kitties. This has ideas on how to make your own t-shirts using fabric paint or fabric markers. And also ideas on what to make out of old t-shirts. I’ll be interested to see if there are illustrations to go along with the suggestions.
As with the other Fashion Kitty books I’ve read the action is fast along with some silliness as to how Fashion Kitty saves the day. Fashion Kitty fans won’t be disappointed.
