内容简介：
Bitter and resentful of her harsh social rejection, twelve-year-old Riley is suddenly faced with an extremely excruciating decision. When she can no longer bear to watch some mistreated, outcast alley cats struggling for their survival, she decides to rise to the challenge of painfully reconnecting to her community and appealing to a city council board in hopes of altering the alley cats' dreaded fate. Riley's socially proud and spiteful foster mother is driven to disempower her by ending the alley cats' misery forever with her simply intriguing array of nasty schemes, which include lethal poisons and snarling pit bulls. Can Riley effectively work with everyone's differences in time to change their hearts as they come to support a program that has the power to repair and change all of their broken lives forever, or will the alley cats be doomed to suffer their otherwise ultimate and deadly fate?
