The Kitten Who Kissed a Gnome

<p>Finally . . . Spring has come to Makawee! And with spring warmer weather comes green grass budding flowers and Food Trucks! There's no better after-school treat than to walk downtown and get an order of Smilie Potatoes from a favorite vendor Roger's Roast Beef.</p><p> Spring also means planting a garden. At least it used to for Frankie and his mother. Another change of seasons means more first-time adjustments as Frankie and Ginni live through the first year without their mom. Ginni is at a loss on how to help Frankie move beyond this painful reminder of what they have lost. Neelia their precious black kitten has helped Frankie heal his grief ever since she was found outside in the snow last Christmas but a kitten can't plant a garden.</p><p> </p><p>Ginni gets distracted however from the garden dilemma when Roger confides in them that he's being robbed. Who would steal from a food truck? Especially when Roger who looks like Santa is the kindest guy around.</p><p> </p><p>And if that wasn't enough Frankie receives more devastating bad news. Can nothing go right this spring? It's going to take the efforts of Ginni and their supersleuth pets (and a little bit of luck) to make things right.</p>
