Silas, the lovable, furry, adventurous orange cat with five toes on each paw, is missing or is he? The California Blakes' are visiting the Charleston Blakes', and they're eager to start their walking tour. The grown-ups are sure Silas is safe at home, probably snoozing on the roof of the piazza, but the cousins are worried. That cat could get into trouble. When the boys discover five-toed paws prints along the tour, they suspect that Silas is trying to come with them. Through the eyes of eleven-year-old David, who tells the story, we see the children learning about Charleston's history and architecture, and about low country plantations. From the tower clock of St. Michael's Church, through the Old Exchange Building's dungeon, to the maze at Magnolia Plantation, and beyond they took for traces of that rascally Silas and his disappearing orange tail.
