The Phoney-Baloney Professor — Louise Munro Foley

Fifth-grader Tracey Wilson is nervous. It's been a while since she's spotted Norman the vampire poking around looking for her cat, Omar. Tracey adopted Omar when he escaped from the vampire community. And Norman has been not on their--er--tails ever since. Omar has amazing powers, like being able to talk and change into other animal forms. Unfortunately, the vampires need Omar. Bad. It's Norman's job to bring Omar and Tracey back to the village.

But Tracey hasn't seen Norman in weeks. What could he be up to? She finds out soon enough when Omar is mistaken for an exotic rare animal and locked up at the local university. What a mix-up! But things get really hairy when a famous European professor shows up to study the "Wonder Cat". A professor who looks a lot like Norman.
