Calling all Raina Telgemeier fans! Introducing an irresistible new middle-grade graphic novel series about growing up, friendship, heroes, and cats (lots of cats!)--perfect for fans of Guts , Awkward and Real Friends (not to mention anyone who loves cats!) Katie is dreading the boring summer ahead while her best friends are all away at camp--something that's way out of Katie and her mom's budget, UNLESS Katie can figure out a way earn the money for camp herself. But when Katie gets a job catsitting for her mysterious upstairs neighbor, life get interesting. First, Madeline has 217 cats (!) and they're not exactly . . . normal cats. Also, why is Madeline always out EXACTLY when the city's most notorious villain commits crimes?! Is it possible that Katie's upstairs neighbor is really a super villain? Can Katie wrangle a whole lot of wayward cats, save a best friendship (why is Beth barely writing back? And who's this boy she keeps talking about?!), AND crack the biggest story in the city's history? Some heroes have capes . . . Katie has cats! "Who can possibly resist a team of super cats? Or a wonderful kid who gets swept up in the feline drama? I loved Katie !" --Lucy Knisley, New York Times Bestselling Author of Stepping Stones "Super fun and utterly delightful !" --Gene Luen Yang, New York Times bestselling author of American Born Chinese "A winner !" --Nick Bruel, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Bad Kitty series Review: Super - I have to admit that I didn't expect this story to centre around a Superhero. But then again,who has over 200 cats...? So,with my disbelief well and truly suspended,the story fairly rockets along. Saving up for summer camp by doing odd jobs,really odd jobs... I really like the picture of Katie with her arms on the balcony,cats about her ankles and the mysterious figure in the background against the moon. A classic scene that never gets old,brilliant. Some parts of the story are a little far fetched,but well,why not. It's only for entertainment and it certainly does that. Oh,and as for the cats,they remind me of the animated Disney film The Aristocats where they can play musical instruments and dance,ha ha. I suspect this would make a great bedtime story You know,sinc Review: Great book - Was such a great book I had to order the rest in the series. She's now telling me when the next one will be out and giving me a count down.

5 Stars
I loved this so much! It was adorable and fun and has SO MANY incredible cats! My own cats might have been a little jealous of how much I loved this. Seriously, read it!

The perfect book for cat loving youngsters
We're forever looking for ways to encourage my daughter to read, she enjoys audio books and getting read to, but actually sitting down and spending time concentrating on a story is beyond her most of the time. You can imagine my delight when she's been so engrossed in this she's actually sat up late at night to finish it over 2 days, completely I heard of but she instantly loved the characters, setting and story. And the cats! She was so disappointed when the story ended but thankfully the second book was just due to be released, instant purchase and thoroughly recommend anyone with an inkling of love for our felines gives this a chance.

granddaughter loved these
My 8 yr old granddaughter loves these stories. Asked for others in the series so I guess it's a 5 star from her. She loves to read and these are illustrated like a comic book. Of course I bought her more. She's a good reader so no trouble for her.
