ONE MAD CAT

I’m so excited that my early reader chapter book series, ONE MAD CAT, will be launching with Candlewick Press in 2026! Get ready for one cute, mad, mystery-solving cat! For more fun, jump into Cat’s official IG.

DETAILS

Cat is mad – a lot (after all, she’s a cat). But when a friend needs her help to solve a mystery, she puts her irritation to the side…

Cat’s friend Hedgehog has lost his favorite book. Unfortunately for Cat, searching for her friend’s book means navigating annoying messes, smells, and crowds as she hunts for clues. When a particularly sticky clue (yuck!) leads her to the book at last (it was in Hedgehog’s locker all along?), Cat is mad, but Hedgehog is thrilled—and that’s what really matters, right? Vicky Fang, a rising talent in the kid-lit world, delivers an original take on the graphic-reader format—one whose dryly humorous storytelling and illustrative style hold appeal for both beginning and newly independent readers and adult caregivers alike.

“A simple story line, dry humor, and an enjoyably cranky feline protagonist combine for a satisfying whodunit.” – Kirkus Reviews

DETAILS

Cat is on a field trip, and she’s not mad (yet). But hold on . . . With a fresh, graphic illustrative style, rising star Vicky Fang brings a second adventure for young animal fans who relish a gentle mystery—and a touch of dry humor.

Friendship outweighs Cat’s (many) peeves on a visit to the nature center in this funny story that deftly weaves in social and emotional learning. When Bunny becomes upset that his photo of the bunny ear cactus on display is blurry, Cat cedes her coveted place in the snack line to find the cactus again by solving a puzzle. Does Cat get mad when the daisies and roses make her sneeze and they get caught in the rain? (Well, she’s a cat, after all.) But is she proud, albeit wet, when she succeeds in tracking down what her friend is looking for? Beginning and newly independent readers will be charmed and entertained by Cat’s further adventures.
