Dillard conveys in polished prose the sheer joy of being young, smart, and passionately observant in a world she sees as endlessly fascinating. Art Bechstein encounters a dizzying series of people and events during the summer following his college graduation. This action-packed novel set in Pittsburgh during the Great Depression details the life of young Mike and his working-class family. "An involving and informative kid's-eye look at several aspects of city life in the 1930s."--"School Library Journal." When a wealthy Pittsburgh eccentric dies suddenly, she leaves her estate to her beloved Siamese cats and an unnamed and heretofore unknown heir. The woman's son is livid, and Leigh Koslow's veterinarian father--now caretaker to the cats--is far from thrilled himself, especially since his clinic was the recent target of a bizarre robbery attempt. When a second attack occurs, Leigh tries to uncover the identity of the millionarie-to-be. Life and Architecture in Pittsburgh
