## About this book

The moon is being eaten by rats, and the only one who can save it is a cat — launched into space alongside a toenail-clipping robot and the Queen of the Moon.

A recent winner of the Garden State Children's Book Award (grades 2-5), the New Jersey Library Association's statewide children's-choice award — children across NJ read the nominees and vote for their favorites.
