The Cat Catastrophe — Matt Beighton

When Trixie Grimble returned home after her first term at Monstacademy, she was expecting to find her mum waiting with open arms. What she wasn't expecting to find was a cat circus making full use of her bedroom and to be cast out to the garden shed.  As if getting to grips with a school for monsters and trying to save the world weren't enough, to make matters worse, the temperature is dropping and Santa Claus is on his way. Will Trixie be able to get a message to the big guy in time to save her Christmas? Or will he end up delivering presents for her mum's new group of cat acrobats instead? Join Trixie as she tries to save Christmas in this Monstacademy short story.  This story is also available in The Halloween Parade under the name The Christmas Cat Circus.
