Klawde: Evil Alien Warlord Cat: Emperor of the Universe #5





"Applaud for KLAWDE. Two paws up!"--Dav Pilkey, creator of the Dog Man series.

"Funny, savage, and brilliant, Klawde is the pet I wish I had."--Max Brallier, New York Times Bestselling author of The Last Kids on Earth.

Klawde is not your basic cat. He's an emperor from another planet, exiled to Earth. He's cruel. He's cunning. He's brilliant... and he's also Raj Banerjee's best friend.

"Funny, savage, and brilliant, Klawde is the pet I wish I had."--Max Brallier, New York Times Bestselling author of The Last Kids on Earth.

Klawde is not your basic cat. He's an emperor from another planet, exiled to Earth. He's cruel. He's cunning. He's brilliant... and he's also Raj Banerjee's best friend.

Following a humiliating, defeated effort to conquer Earth, Klawde has had it with this this dismal planet. And anyway, what's the point in conquering such an insignificant corner of the galaxy, when there's an entire universe to rule? Luckily for Klawde, the position of Emperor of the Universe is now open for the taking.

So with Barx and Raj by his side, and enemies around every corner, Klawde begins the campaign of his life. Can he win enough hearts and minds to become . . . Emperor of the Universe?

Heavily illustrated, with a hilarious, biting voice that switches between Raj's and Klawde's perspectives, this is the story of an unlikely friendship that emerges between a boy and the evil cat who arrived on his doorstep.

Praise for Klawde: Evil Alien Warlord Cat: Emperor of the Universe #5

"For every reader that secretly thinks their cat is out to get them, Klawde's here to tell you... you may be right. Funny, savage, and brilliant, Klawde is the pet I wish I had."--Max Brallier, New York Times Bestselling author of The Last Kids on Earth series.

"Applaud for KLAWDE. Two paws up!"--Dav Pilkey, creator of the Dog Man series.

"These books offer goofy, accessible entertainment that for the right readers, especially reluctant ones, will be like...well, catnip." - The Wall Street Journal

"Giggle-worthy cat puns are littered throughout this goofy story, and Klawde's clueless arrogance and kitty perspective brings the humor level to the absurd...These mismatched pals will find an audience among fans of Pilkey's Dog Man or Cammuso's The Misadventures of Salem Hyde: Spelling Trouble." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"With cute illustrations, hilarious misunderstandings, and pun-filled names, readers of all ages will claw their way to the second book." - Booklist

"[Klawde] will hook even reluctant readers. Mommaerts's two-color, cartoon illustrations add more laughs... Fun for feline fanatics and light sci-fi lovers." - Kirkus Reviews

"Dynamic illustrations capture the energy, humor, and heart of this strong series kick-off." - Publishers Weekly
