About This Book
Everything in Dogtown, including the Boys Club, was run down and beat up. The Health Department wanted to close the Club because it was full of rats and cockroaches. But that only meant that kids like Buddy Williams, Johnny Pastelito, Rich Smith, and Cool Hawkins would be out on the street again with no place to go. They didn't want trouble. They just wanted to raise money to save the old place. Once they started looking, though, things began to pop. Before long, the whole town was in on the search for a very rich and mysterious cat.
