Series: Bad Kitty  Publication: January 6, 2015 By: Roaring Book Press Amazon | B&N | Goodreads  5 Stars! "This eight book in the popular Bad Kitty series features a day in the life of Kitty's ever-slobbering foe, Puppy"-- *I received this ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review* ~ Review provided by the 10 year old ~ First Impression: Funny. Good. Hilarious. What I Liked: I wanted to read this because I like cats. Once I started, I did want to stop until I was done. Bad Kitty is rude which I think is kind of funny. I also liked that it reads like a comic book. It was funny w hen Uncle Murray got yelled at by the police officer for not carrying a poop bag when he took Puppy for a walk. I liked this book so much I started writing my own story about "Crazy Cat Mittens".  Final Verdict: I can't wait for the next one!

And, finally, about the abuse she suffered while May was supposed to be looking out for her. Only then, once Laurel has written down the truth about what happened to herself, ca...
