Her third story finds plucky Cat Royal, disguised as a ballerina, in France reporting on La révolution. When her friends are thrown in prison, Cat must use her considerable street skills, connections, and audacity to secure their release. Cat's larger-than-life spunkiness supplies the engine for this fast-paced adventure. The general period atmosphere remains strong, as does Cat's ability to relate to people.
