We have a winner, folks–my graphic-novel-obsessed 12-year-old is officially getting Katie the Catsitter for Christmas. Not only is it a perfectly age-appropriate story about friendships, trying to work for something you want (but not always succeeding), and some middle grade changes, but there are animals galore; the author is even PICTURED WITH HER PET BUNNIES in the back! (If you know my girlie, you know how perfect this is.) Katie is a completely likable heroine, and I LOVE the cats; the superhero angle is a bit different from my daughter’s usual fare, but I think she’s going to enjoy it. If you’re looking for female heroines, want a graphic novel appropriate for a 12-year-old to read approximately 500 times, or just love cats, this is most definitely the book for you.
