"A heartwarming tale, which gives the papacy a human touch." –Christopher Lamb, Rome correspondent, The Tablet "I give it one million stars!" —Luca, Mrs. Gilman's class, St. Margaret Mary School (Omaha, NE) Meet Margaret — the Pope's cat — in the very first book in this best-selling series by Jon M. Sweeney! This is the story of a stray born on the Via della Conciliazione in Rome, how she's adopted by the Pope, and then "rules" the Vatican from museum to floorboard! First in a new series. No one has a closer view of what's happening in the world's tiniest nation, Vatican City, than Margaret, the Pope's new cat. But she wasn't always Margaret, and she wasn't always the Pope's cat. She started out as a stray on the streets of Rome, and there are those in the Vatican who wish she'd never been allowed inside. This fun, adorable new character will appeal to all kids! Here is a cat who does what she likes regardless of what others, even someone like the Pope, expects of her—even when the Queen of England comes on a state visit! This new fiction series is intended for Catholic schools, elementary school teachers, Catholic librarians, superintendents of schools, reading specialists, educators, catechists, school principals, Catholic homeschoolers, and parents.

This is a work of fiction. The author has used the real titles of Pope and Holy Father in the sense in which they are normally understood: for the leader of the Roman Catholic Church who resides in Vatican City; but no historical Pope or Holy Father, past or present, is intended. That said, the Queen of England and her husband, Prince Philip, make a cameo appearance.
