    About this ebook

    Poker Boy often saves the planet, other humans, sometimes other superheroes, and even dogs.

    But never a cat, at least until now.

    With cats, he needs the help of a superhero of cats, Pahket Jones.

    And as typical of Poker Boy, nothing ever remains simple.

    Even saving a cat.
