The Cat Who Hated Thanksgiving

Shadow is a no-nonsense detective cat who keeps detailed case files on his neighborhood's disasters. But when a delivery truck drops off nine teleporting turkeys, even his careful planning won't prepare him for what happens next. These aren't ordinary birds—they vanish and reappear, wreak havoc on perfect lawns, and seem determined to teach Willowmere Lane a lesson about gratitude. As Thankful Trees spring up in every yard and a cryptic furnace prophecy warns of "feathered fools and sweet-fed lies," Shadow must team up with an unlikely crew of neighborhood animals to uncover what's really going on. Are the turkeys mindless troublemakers, or is something deeper happening on this magical street where decorations have opinions and mailboxes complain about their treatment?
