Book-by-Book Guide:
Toto the Ninja Cat and the Mystery Jewel Thief
In this adventure, Toto and her friends are entrusted with looking after the French ambassador during a day of sightseeing, culminating at the Tower of London where a sacred diamond cat collar is at stake. Toto’s keen senses, agility, and quick wits lead a vivid hunt for a clever thief, all while keeping the ambassador safe and the mood light with cat-sized mischief.

It’s a brisk, charming introduction to Toto’s world, where courage and clever thinking trump brute force and bravado.

Toto the Ninja Cat and the Legend of the Wildcat
Toto’s circle grows with Silver and Socks and their best friend Catface, who are newly minted Deputy Ninja Cats. The celebration soon derails when a boat belonging to an important cat is accidentally damaged, sending the group north toward a bootcamp for naughty animals. This installment leans into teamwork, responsibility, and the funny, sometimes chaotic, consequences of mischief. Toto’s steady leadership helps the crew navigate a series of challenges, while East’s expressive art keeps the tone playful and accessible. The bootcamp premise provides fresh energy and new relationships within the familiar, affectionate world of Toto.

Toto the Ninja Cat and the Great Snake Escape

Toto the Ninja Cat and the Incredible Cheese Heist
