Items related to Cat Girl's Day Off
Nat Ng comes from a family of the super-Talented: levitation, lie-detecting, chameleon-like blending into one s surroundings. Her Class D (as in dumb) Talent of talking to cats isn t something they ever discuss and she d rather no one ever knew about it anyway. Her life would be over if she became forever known as Cat Girl.
But when Nat s celebrity-addicted best friends show her a viral Internet video of a celebrity blogger being attacked by her own cat, it s only Nat who can see the true story. To solve the mystery and prevent a murder or two, Nat and her friends must race through Ferris Bueller s Chicago from movie set locations (such as Wrigley Field) to the suburbs, accompanied by wise-cracking cats. Perhaps Cat Girl might save the day after all!

From Kirkus Reviews:
Natalie Ng, gifted with the Talent of being able to communicate with cats, embarks on an impetuous adventure as a movie riffing off film classic Ferris Bueller s Day Off is filmed at her Chicago-area high school. Natalie comes from a Talented family, but her two sisters and her parents all possess high-grade Talents such as blending like a chameleon, knowing when people are lying or having an ultrasensitive sense of smell. Still, Nat s unique ability to understand cats means she s the only one to hear celebrity blogger Easton s cat screaming for help because his owner has been kidnapped and replaced with a look-alike. Since there s no one else ready and able to rescue Easton, Nat and her pair of slightly off-beat friends take on the job. This leads to one perilous situation after another, many of them featuring the italicized thoughts appropriately laconic and snarky of the various cats that Nat seeks out for help. Her bumpy budding romance with classmate Ian adds an amusing love interest to the mix. The fantasy elements, solidly grounded in an otherwise real world, seem ever-so-believable. Lively conversation, strong characterizations and a fast pace make this a breezy read. The funny feline thoughts are catnip for the audience. A worthwhile adventure and an easy sell for feline fanciers who already know what their pets are saying. --Kirkus Reviews
