Illustrated by
Heath McKenzie.
Maddy asks her friend Ella to care for her cat, Marmalade, while she's away for a year. Ella and Marmalade aren't especially happy with the arrangement, but by the end of this satisfying story, they've become friends. McKenzie depicts the girls in black-and-white line drawings and reserves light color washes for the surrounding images; a dynamic book design completes the attractive package.
