If only Polo hadn't found himself longing for the mother he barely remembered as a soft-warm-wiggle-purr-milk-tongue. Then the two tabbies might have been content to remain pampered house cats forever. But when their owners leave a door open, Marco and Polo can't resist the temptation to escape to the outside world. \u003cbr\u003e Their search for food and a dry place to sleep leads them to Texas Jake and the cats of the Club of Mysteries. Life on the streets is a lot easier with friends, but Marco and Polo have to prove themselves before they can become members of the club. And that means facing the huge mastiff Bertram the Bad, a pack of savage river rats, and a barren landscape that may be the ranch of Marco's dreams -- even if it seems more like a nightmare. Home is starting to look better and better... \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDon't miss any of The Cat Pack's adventures.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNaylor, Phyllis Reynolds:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Phyllis Reynolds Naylor has written more than 135 books, including the Newbery Award-winning \u003ci\u003eShiloh \u003c\/i\u003eand its sequels, the Alice series, \u003ci\u003eRoxie and the Hooligans\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eRoxie and the Hooligans at Buzzard's Roost\u003c\/i\u003e.
