Ugly Cat & Pablo and the Missing Brother

This unlikely cat and mouse duo will win young chapter book readers over with their ridiculously silly antics and their search for tasty treats!

Now Ugly Cat and his impeccably dressed mouse friend, Pablo, are on a mission to find Ugly's brother. But when all signs are pointing to the haunted Old Herrera House, can they figure out a way to sneak in, rescue Tamarindo, and make it out in one piece?
