Jenny Linsky, the shy black cat from Greenwich Village, finds that she must summon all her courage when a fellow member of The Cat Club loses her flute, and she is the only one who can retrieve it. Braving the terrors of Rob the Robber and his gang of dogs, Jenny sets out to do "the best she can..."
Accompanied by Averill's own charming illustrations, Jenny's Moonlight Adventure is a Halloween story that will have appeal for any child that has had to deal with bullies, and offers a gentle but inspiring story of friendship and loyalty. Recommended to young cat-lovers, and to anyone who has read and enjoyed other stories about Jenny Linsky and the Cat Club.

This was cute! I happily recognized lots of influences from TS Elliot's "Big Book of Cats". It's a quick, gentle read.
