Katrina and the Cat’s Jewel- Overview

By Lily Liu

Katrina is an unusual fourteen-year-old girl growing up in Washington D.C. On her first day, she tries out for the CIA, though she’s much too young. The CIA politely declines her offer after a surprise meeting and a prank for retaliation at 10:00 PM.

Katrina has a big secret she hides from everyone, including family. She is part cat and is willing to go back to the Cat World, where she was from, if anyone would let her. Yet she chooses to spare a chance and tells Kim, a friend from school, that she is part cat, since Kim has proven worthy of her trust.

As they embark on their journey through Catland and the Cat Isles, two fascinating places in the Cat World, problems arise. The jewel at Jewel castle is stolen! However, the secret organization that stole the jewel is tougher than everyone thinks.

But even in this mess, Katrina is determined to get the reward for catching the thief. Of course, this reward is not for herself, but to offer to her parents as a gift so they will let her live in her real world for the rest of her life.
