Atticus Claw Breaks the Law (2012)
“The alarm on Mrs Cheddar’s mobile phone (the same phone which he had carefully removed from her handbag while she was brushing her teeth) was buzzing urgently. He reached out a paw and switched it off. The magpies were expecting him at the stroke of midnight. He had to get down to the beach.
But first of all he had to get out of the house.Atticus had noted with grudging approval how carefully Inspector Cheddar had locked and bolted the front and back doors before he went to bed. Even Atticu...s Grammaticus Cattypus Claw, the world’s greatest cat burglar, might struggle to open them. He was glad he didn’t have to. He’d just pretend he wanted to go to the loo outside instead. In fact he’d make such a nuisance of himself the Cheddars would have to get a cat flap installed. Then he could come and go as he pleased until the time came in a week or so for him to leave for good.
He got out of his basket and padded up the stairs. Outside the children’s room he paused, wondering whether to wake one of them up to let him out.Usually Atticus stayed away from kids.MoreLess
