Kitty and the Vanishing Act by Paula Harrison
The whole of Hallam City is talking about magician, Marella, and her performing poodle, Crystal. Their magic show is in town, but on opening night, mid-way through their vanishing act, Crystal disappears for real and Marella can't make her reappear. It's up to Kitty and her cat crew to leap into action and solve the mystery of the missing poodle.
