Chester' s finally ready to write his own masterpiece - he just needs to get Melanie Watt out of the way! A wry take on the creative process and how good stories are constructed. When Chester (the cat) announces he' s taking over for Melanie Watt on this book due to some technical difficulties, Melanie begs to differ. She tells him that no one will want to publish his messy book. And she demands that he return her supplies so she can get to work. Chester insists he can create the best, most original story anyone has ever read in their entire nine lives. Will the real author and illustrator have the last laugh after all?
The back and forth conversation between character and creator, along with the visual and verbal energy Watt brings to every project she undertakes, keeps us glued to the page. --Quill & Quire The clever concept still works, and the warring banter will have readers eagerly flipping the pages, up to the laugh-out-loud conclusion. --Publishers Weekly, Starred Review The tongue-in-cheek back and forth dialogue between the cat and his off-scene author will be enjoyed by kids and adults alike. --School Library Journal There are plenty of giggles along the way, and the author' s revenge (not to mention Chester' s hiding place for her supplies) will elicit gales of laughter. A must purchase, especially where the first two are loved. --Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review This dialogue vividly conveys what books are all about - genre, setting, plot, heroes, ending - in uproarious fashion. --Booklist
