The Postman Always Brings Mice by Holm & Hamel

You are a sophisticated cat of the world. In fact, you are James Edward Bristlefur, a cat of honor and breeding who has helped to bring down the most cunning criminals in the world, thwart thefts of precious jewels, and who curls up each night on a comfortable pillow with a large dish of cream.

At least, you used to be.

But that was before Sir Archibald, the Director of MI9, Britain's most secret counterspy agency, and your human ever since you were a young kitten, was foully poisoned before your very eyes.

Now, a mix-up in customs and baggage claims dumps you, not in Norway on the trail of the vile villain who did the deed, but in an animal shelter - in New Jersey! To be adopted by an American family and misnamed "Mr. Stink."

The indignity!

And yet, in the midst of your plans to resume your quest, you discover that not everything is as it seems. Not even in a quiet little American neighborhood...

The Master Spy Handbook by Rain Newcomb

You don't know me, and I can't tell you my name. Just call me Agent O - that's what my contacts at the Network call me.

I'm on a mission at the moment: the Network wants me to find out what criminal mastermind extraordinaire Felicia wants with a whole shipment of Spy Wars video games. Not too tricky for a trained spy like me, but if my teachers at the Spy Academy found out what I was doing, I'd be put in detention. If I'm lucky.

Fortunately, I've got a lot of experience doing this, and I don't like to brag but I'm pretty good. Felicia - and the Academy - won't suspect a thing until the Network arrests her!

Well, I suppose if you wanted to tag along I could show you a few tricks of the trade, give you a few tips, things like that. Okay, okay, sure - I'll tell you how to do everything I do on this mission, all right? Just remember - be careful, and don't let my notebook fall into the wrong hands, got it?
