Brando's family, seeking relief from the heat, retreats to the sleeping porch. While his parents sleep, a ghostly cat takes Brando on a flying adventure to space and the Arctic. The story is jumbled and there are logic gaps (e.g., why can't they simply fly off the melting ice floe?), but the accompanying nighttime watercolors are pleasant.
