Katt vs. Dogg

James Patterson and Chris Grabenstein deliver a high-energy, humorous adventure about a society where cats and dogs are sworn enemies. Oscar, a rambunctious Dogg Scout, and Molly, a clever Katt with acting ambitions, are taught from birth to hate the other species. When they both become hopelessly lost in the woods, they are forced to confront their lifelong prejudices and realize that their only hope for survival is to work together. This middle-grade novel, suitable for ages 10-14, is a fast-paced, engaging read that subtly explores themes of prejudice, empathy, and the power of unlikely friendships, all wrapped in a fun, anthropomorphic animal setting.

For anyone who loves cats, dogs (or both!), James Patterson's most pawsome story ever is set in a society defined by the oldest rivalry in the world: katts versus doggs! Oscar is a happy dogg---a rambunctious kid who loves being a Dogg Scout. Thanks to his family, he knows that snobby katts are good for nothing but chasing up trees. Molly is a clever katt who just knows she's destined for fame and fortune as an actress. She comes from a family of well-bred katts who despise drooly, disgusting doggs! For their whole lives, Oscar and Molly have been told that katts and dogs hate each other. One day, they each get hopelessly lost in the woods, but those lifelong prejudices flare up when they cross paths. Slowly, they realize that the only way to survive and find their way home is to...work together?! Yeah, that's not going to happen!
