While playing hide-and-seek, Cat discovers that she has a micro-tracking device in her watch. Was Tiger a cheat for shrinking or was Cat the cheat for using the device to find him? Project X Origins. Level 7. Book band 7 (Turquoise).

Quick Summary

If your kid loves funny animal stories and gets a kick out of cheeky mischief, this one's right up their alley. The whole story spins around a classic hide-and-seek game between Cat and Tiger, but with a twist that'll make kids giggle Cat's got a secret gadget in her watch that basically turns her into a superhero seeker. It's short enough for early readers to power through, and the turquoise book band level means the sentences are simple but still feel like a real chapter book, not a picture book. Parents will appreciate that there's actually a little something to think about at the end: was using the gadget cheating, or was Tiger cheating by shrinking? It's a great conversation starter about fair play without being preachy. Think of it as a quick, lighthearted read that's perfect for kids who want something fun and a little bit sneaky.
