Dawn Bosco freezes in horror as her cat Powder Puff jumps out of her arms and into a car. Before Dawn can stop it, the car drives away. Poor Powder Puff! This is a job for Dawn, the Polka Dot Private Eye—and she's ready. The only clues she has, she tells her friend Jason, are a jelly cookie, part of a license plate number, and a long pole. Can Dawn and Jason solve the mystery of the missing meow?
