About "the year of the buttered cat":
Written by Susan Haas and Lexi Haas
Thirteen years ago, when she was just a tiny baby, something terrible happened to Lexi Haas. Something criminal. It left her with an out-of-control body and without a voice. Now, as a precocious, superhero-obsessed teen, Lexi is counting down the final 24 hours to a risky brain surgery that might help her talk orâdare she dream it?âto walk and use her hands. As surgery grows closer, Lexi finds an urgent, relentless need to share the story of the year in her life she calls The Year of the Buttered Cat. That year, on the verge of shutting out the rest of the world, Lexi began a gutsy and solitary quest to find her âmissingâ body. After the family cat went missing, too, and a mysterious letter appeared, Lexi reluctantly enlisted two budding friends to aid her search. But when these friends also disappeared, Lexi had to learn new ways to reach out to the world to save her friendships and uncover the truth about what happened to her as a baby. the year of the buttered cat is based on the real-life story of Lexi Haas. In the spirit of Wonder by R.J. Palacio and Out of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper, the year of the buttered cat offers empowering powerful messages of friendship, family, loss and the art of redefining ourselves.
