Summary

IT'S SAMMY'S BIRTHDAY, which should be a good thing, except that Heather, Sammy's arch enemy, turns out to be her star sister. And El Gato, the creepy new student at Slammin' Dave's Pro Wrestling School, keeps hissing at Sammy to stay away. And Dorito, Sammy's cat, is missing, and while Sammy's searching for him, she finds three dead cats in dumpsters around town. And as if that weren't gross enough, Miss Kitty, a psycho cat lady, blames Sammy when it turns out one of the dead cats belonged to her. And then last, but certainly not least, Lady Lana, Sammy's mom, confesses that she lied about Sammy's age so she could start her in school a year early. So--surprise!--Sammy isn't turning 14 at all, she's going to have to be unlucky 13 for another whole year! Better luck next year, Sammy. . . .From the Hardcover edition.

From the Hardcover edition.

From the jacket flap

Sammy's never been what you might call lucky. But finding a dead cat on her birthday? That ranks up there in her top-10 unluckiest moments. And not just because it was the ugliest dead thing she'd ever seen. No, it was more the chain of events that happened after.
Like getting hosed down by a crazy cat lady who blames Sammy for her pet's violent end. And being chased through an alley by a guy with a cleaver. And being thrown in the ring by a cranky pro-wrestler called
El Gato--oh, no wait, that was the good part of her day.
