Bodega Cats #2: Just Kitten Around
In the Heights meets Front Desk in this heartwarming and funny young middle-grade series, featuring interior illustrations, and each centering a different bodega owner's kid and their newly-adopted furry friend, with a focus on family and community.
Everyone thinks Yesenia is calm, collected, and crushing it. But really, her stomach is constantly a ball of nerves. With parents who left their home in the Dominican Republic to make a better life for their kids, and three perfect, over-achieving older sisters, Yesenia knows nobody wants to hear about the anxiety that’s causing her to fall behind in school. When her doctor tells her parents that taking care of an animal could help, little did they know her newly adopted kitten would be such a mischievous influence.
All Candy can think about is adventure–and what’s a kitten supposed to do when her owner is cooped up inside helping out at the bodega? But when Candy escapes and gets lost in New York City for a night, she realizes maybe the big open world isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Can these two find a way out of feeling so lost, as long they’re together?
