Jennifer Holm & Jonathan Hamel

When a French-born counterspy now living in the United States returns to France with his adopted family, he becomes the target of a determined would-be assassin, and his family is threatened, too. Now, we should mention that the counterspy in this case is an unusual personality .. because this is a book for young readers. The hero is James Edward Bristlefur -- a Bengal cat otherwise known as Mr. Stink. The book by Jennifer Holm and Jonathan Hamel is called The Stink Files, Dossier 003: You Only Have Nine Lives.
