A festival mystery for Kitty

Hallam City’s Festival of Light gives Kitty a personal stake in the mystery: she has made a lantern for the parade, then notices burglaries disrupting the celebrations. With her cat crew absent, she must investigate using her catlike powers and her own bravery. The fifth installment in Paula Harrison’s chapter-book series combines a festival setting, a thief to track down, and themes of friendship, family, self-confidence, and courage. Two-color illustrations appear throughout, and the book also includes facts about cats.

parade starts, a series of mysterious burglaries occur in the crowd. Kitty
spots a shadowy figure and knows that she must use her catlike superpowers to
investigate. Chasing the culprit without the help of her cat crew tests her
bravery and superhero skills, but Kitty's determined to track down the thief
before the city's festival is ruined.
