In a society where humans can fly, Gurl is one of the few without this ability - and the only one with the power to become invisible. The shy, silver-haired girl lives a lonely existence at an orphanage called Hope House for the Homeless and she is hopeless until she meets Noodle, an amazing, super intelligent cat. With this discovery, Gurl feels as if she has finally found a friend. However her happiness is threatened when Bug, a newcomer to the orphanage with no memory of his past and a burning dream to be the greatest flyer ever, finds the cat. Despite their original rivalry, Bug and Gurl unite to face off against the malicious orphanage matron, and a desperate journey to save Noodle, the city and their own futures. Ruby's delightfully random book overflows with an explosive combination of magical pens, a room full of mechanical monkeys and a pack of giant rats obsessed with cats! This book is a must read for anyone in search of a hilarious, wild ride! LRW 6/17/08
