A stray cat who escaped the YummCo Laboratories on the outskirts of Lambert, Bert has now been officially adopted by nine-year-old Mellie Gore. He spends his days dozing in Mellie's room and his nights hunting . . . and devouring fresh prey. Bert's health and memory have returned, and his newfound strength and smarts are off the charts. Mellie, meanwhile, is busy working odd jobs to fund her cat's visit to the vet, convinced that Bert can win the Best Pet contest at the upcoming YummCo-sponsored Harvest Festival. But is Bert really the best pet in Lambert--or just the weirdest? And could he be plotting revenge? Clever illustrated fare for fans of <i>Bunnicula</i> and other humorous forays into the macabre.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Bert, the cat Mellie adopted in series opener <i>Rise of ZomBert</i> (2020), may not be a zombie...but she's sure he's special. . . .
