Ethyl the Cat Collector

Ethyl Friddle didn't plan to be a cat collector. It came about one day when Ethyl saw a certain cat being batted with a broom. Of course she knew right off that was a cat that needed saving. She was forced her to tell a lie. One lie led to another--as is often the case. Before Ethyl knew it, she had multiple problems: First, she had a big cat problem. She also found that she had become an 'item' at school--with Fred Williams--which was completely against her parents' rules. There was trouble at home, of course, but Ethyl's biggest problem was finding a way to keep everything from spinning completely out of control. Ethyl has a big heart and a sense of justice. It's a heart big enough to SAVE THE CATS--that's what she calls her mission.

Ethyl the Cat Collector is a short story for girls AND boys. One that focuses on on making good choices, building strength of character, and finding happiness along the way from childhood to adulthood.
