''At the magic age of twelve, Penrod continues to learn something of the ways of love -- particularly as they relate to the hear to Marjorie Jones. With the aid of his friends, Sam Williams and Herman, Penrod captures a remarkable cat -- 'part panther or something.' There is a severe outbreak of cavalry I the neighborhood. Penrod attends a part and feels himself unjustly blamed for the fact that said part failed to be a social success. These are just a few of the amusing or tragic adventures of Penrod and his pals.''
