ALA Notable Book: A family is adopted by a very talented kitten in this "captivating story, told with... whimsical humor" by the beloved Newbery medalist (Chicago Tribune).

The Pyes are spending the summer on Fire Island when they discover a skinny, furious black kitten wearing an unusual sign around her neck. This family has some of the smartest pets around -- there's Ginger the intellectual dog, and Gracie the clever old cat -- but the spirited stray named Pinky is more than smart enough to earn a place in the Pyes' hearts. She can box with Ginger, play games with Mr. Pye, and -- Rachel and Jerry can hardly believe their eyes -- even type out her life story!

"Told with loving tenderness, whimsical humor, [and] suspense, it has all the special magic that is Eleanor Estes' trademark... Don't miss it." -- Chicago Tribune

"All the characters -- animal or human -- have a high old time... That is the appeal of the Pyes -- no one of them is quite like anyone else -- yet each is believable." -- The New York Times

"Realistic and fantastic, tender and comic, but always absorbing, engaging, and chuckle-producing." -- The Saturday Review of Literature
