When Celeste loses her home behind the dining room wall, she must climb the stairs and search for safety in the rooms above. Running from the cat she finds safety and friendship in Joseph's room. Joseph's boss John James Audubon is teaching dance and drawing in return for room and board while he searches for birds to paint. Joseph discovers Celeste in his boot and adopts her, carrying her around in his shirt pocket and feeding her peanuts. She meets new friends and continues to encounter old enemies, while her search for the perfect home continues. The story is enhanced by delightful pencil drawings by the author.
