Calling all Raina Telgemeier fans! It's back to school for Katie the Catsitter in this purr-fectly irresistible graphic novel series about friendship, heroes, and cats (lots of cats)! Katie loves skating with the Wheelas and the fact that she’s officially a superhero sidekick. But now that school’s starting, everything’s changing. The Mousetress is getting blamed for things Katie knows she didn’t do. Sidekick training is NOT as exciting as she’d hoped. Katie’s best friend Beth is back in town and Beth’s new boyfriend is always hanging around (ugh!). Not to mention that all of Katie’s friends are mad at her. Fixing this will be harder than any skateboarding trick. But with the help of 217 slightly out of the ordinary cats, Katie’s going to try! Can she clear the Mousestress’s name, uncover the real supervillain, and become the sidekick (and the friend) she’s always dreamed of being? Don't miss more Katie the Catsitters—Katie the Catsitter 1 and Katie the Catsitter 3: Secrets and Sidekicks! “Readers will revel in the heroic antics.” –The New York Times

I was not prepared for this graphic novel at all being about superheroes and villains! I did not read the first Katie the Catsitter book so I was a little lost at the beginning – was this contemporary? Magical? Urban fantasy? It's just about superheroes and villains – unclear if any of the superheroes have “powers”, really, and also many hyper-intelligent cats. It's also about friendships and getting new friends and not remembering how to connect with your old ones. It's got really good art that isn't necessarily realistic but feels relatable. The cast is both diverse and delightful. There are twists that I definitely saw coming, but also I am An Adult and familiar with The Tropes — a child Latitude would definitely be surprised.
