Illustrated by
Danny Chatzikonstantinou.
Feline Officer Katz challenges Houndini, the mischievous escape artist, to a contest, hoping to capture the elusive dog with one of his clever inventions. However, after the competition ends (with a bang), both feel the need for change, so they decide to take their skills on the road together. Comical digital illustrations and frequent wordplay (e.g. "paw-parazzi") maintain the humor in this satisfying tale.
