Bad Kitty by Michele Jaffe

Pseudo CSI Equipment (Blush brush, eye shadow, tweezers and makeup bags): $25
Suite at Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas: $300
A Las Vegas-sized mystery with keen fashion sense, witty one-liners, and footnoted conversations between friends: So Mastercard (AKA…$PRICELESS) and Totally Visa (Everywhere you want to be).
Little Life Lesson 1: If you want to have a fun, relaxing, uneventful summer vacation, do not go on a family vacation to Las Vegas. Especially if you are like Jasmine and have no innate superpowers.
Little Life Lesson 2: If you fail to heed this warning and go on said vacation, remember to really SEE what is happening. It is not merely a coincidence when a wild cat jumps on you, a little boy yells for you to save the cat, and then you ruin a wedding by trampling the cake and knocking the bride into the pool. Still not a coincidence when instead of being punished, Hotel Security upgrades you and your parents to a suite.
Little Life Lesson 3: Have a great group of friends on speed-dial, who can sense when something is awry. Hopefully these friends have great superpowers, which can aid in your crime solving skills.
Little Life Lesson 4: See again #2. Not everything is as it appears. Don’t just look but SEE. A fashionable pair of cowboy boots can double as a compartment for holding lipstick and deadly Designer Imposters body spray. Look at every THREAD of evidence carefully.
Little Life Lesson 5: Understand that while some people’s superpowers are obvious to the naked eye like keen fashion sense or voice imitation, some of us harbor superpowers within ourselves that we don’t realize until they are put to use.
Little Life Lesson 6: If you want a fun, relaxing mystery, try Bad Kitty by Michelle Jaffe.
