Beatrice "Bumble B." Flinn wants to help find her friend Rosa's lost cat, Charley, and she decides the best way is to make a flyer with a drawing and, with the help of her father, hand them out in the neighborhood--but most of them blow away, and Rosa is upset and blames Bumble B and her flyer for the lack of results.

Like Bumble B., she has very good friends who make life fun. Marsha has four grown-up children and two grandchildren. She lives with her husband in Wisconsin.
