Pinkwater, Daniel

Adventures of a Cat-Whiskered Girl

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Calef Brown. Pinkwater follows Big Audrey, the cat-whiskered girl (The Neddiad, The Yggyssey) to Poughkeepsie. She makes new friends and solves a mystery of a girl who looks exactly like her. Pinkwater's complex setup for his punch line is vintage. He still teases us with a barrage of references, but the tone of this offering is less hectic and more wistful than its predecessors.
