Twelve-year-old Brigid "Birdie" Sheehan is a master scammer. Living in Hockomock Hollow, Massachusetts, a town in the Bridgewater Triangle famous for spooky tourist traps and fake swamp monsters, Birdie makes her money selling fake witches’ salt and staged UFO tours. But her life flips upside down when a lazy heavenly office cat, Milo, falls asleep on a computer keyboard, accidentally assigning her a magical Guardian Soul.

Sir Reginald, a snobby, mind-reading Afghan Hound who acts like a furry British king, brings terrible news: Birdie’s Karma Score is deep in the negatives. If she doesn’t earn ten-thousand positive points before the Heavenly Audit in three months, she will be reborn as a dung beetle, and Reggie will be demoted to a street pigeon.

To save themselves, Birdie tries to trick the heavenly system using sneaky Robin Hood-style good deeds. But the scary, mind-reading Sphynx Cats, the heavenly Hairless Ones, are watching, and they don't accept fake charity. With the clock ticking, a grumpy Milo crashing in her laundry basket, and a corrupt mayor threatening her town, Birdie has to do the hardest thing she’s ever attempted: actually become a good person.

Can a junior high school scam artist save her soul, her town, and her magical dog without breaking the rules?
