About the Story

Can Marbles the cat and her human friend D escape a gruesome situation in time for lunch?

"Black fur, white locket.
Agile, brave.
Likes: fish, carpet.
Dislikes: loud noises, adult humans.
Adventurer and friend.
It was I, Marbles."

Inspired by Steve Meretzky's Zork stories for young people, Marbles, D, and the Sinister Spotlight is a narrative-heavy tale for beginners of all ages. Featuring art by Callie Smith.
