The Fina Mendoza Mysteries (Audio Drama)

A holiday mystery for the whole family, set on Capitol Hill between Halloween and Christmas. Fina Mendoza and her older sister Gabby just moved to Washington, D.C. to live fulltime with Papa, a congressman from California. But after Fina encounters a mysterious cat, a string of disasters follows. Jars of spaghetti sauce explode, her beloved Abuelita breaks her leg, and then Fina’s only friend in Washington, a congressional dog named Senator Something, becomes the target. The only way for Fina to save her family from future “cat”astrophe is to solve the mystery of the Demon Cat of Capitol Hill. THE FINA MENDOZA MYSTERIES is based on veteran public radio journalist Kitty Felde's award-winning middle grade mystery “Welcome to Washington Fina Mendoza.” Kitty looked for the Demon Cat while covering Congress for public radio. She found the paw prints, but not the cat. The show was taped "in the wild" rather than in the vacuum of a studio with a cast of two dozen actors.
