Illustrated by
Cat Bowman Smith.
When nine-year-old Holly, her mom and stepfather, and their four cats move into a new San Francisco home, she befriends the boy next door, who has invented a "de-yuckification" machine to help neighbor Annie, who has a yucky baby sister. In this sequel to The Trouble with Cats, Freeman addresses life-changing issues--moving, stepfamilies, new siblings--with a light, deft, and humorous touch.
