The funny, cozy adventures of everyone's favorite feline news crew continue in Good as Goldie, the eighth volume in the Breaking Cat Newsgraphic novel series by Georgia Dunn.
An enormous storm front has rolled in, and feline co-newscasters Elvis, Lupin, and Puck stand ready to provide coverage, with support from their friends all over town. Lupin spots an unknown orange cat who then makes off with his treasured tape recorder. This intrepid stray goes by the name of Goldie and is a detective determined to solve the case of her missing humans--but her only lead is literally garbage. Luckily the Woman is waiting in the wings with a plan for this new friend.
This collection of comic strips includes a show-stealing parody of Hamilton performed by a mostly feline cast, an episode of in-world soap opera "Our IX Lives," and the cat's human baby sister's first steps. Dunn's adorable watercolor characters have a simple, winsome appeal. The Breaking Cat News team's warmth and gentle humor make their charm effective in the cat-lovers' sphere and beyond. --Jaclyn Fulwood, youth services manager, Allen County Public Library
