Description
Clara Humble, the winsome and über-confident soon-to-be-fifth-grader described as “Ramona Quimby meets Timmy Failure,” is back for a third and final adventure. When Clara and her best friend, Bradley, go treasure hunting in an abandoned lot, they stumble upon something even better—a cat about to have kittens!
To Clara, their mission is clear: make the best shelter ever and secretly care for the feline family until they can convince their parents to adopt the cats. But Clara and Bradley agree less than ever, and keeping the cats fed comes with a cost. Clara hatches a brilliant plan to raise kibble cash by producing the cutest internet cat video ever. But when condo developers start to bulldoze the lot, Clara and Bradley have to work together to save the kittens. Can Clara pull it off? Or will it turn into one big cat-astrophe?
Illustrated with Clara’s comics featuring her alter ego @Cat, the final installment in the Clara Humble series is fast-paced and flat-out funny, with the all-star Clara at her very best.
