Katie The Catsitter by Colleen AF Venable


4 Stars | Colleen AF Venable | 2021| Graphic Novel | Grades 3-7| 3.0 Reading Level | 224 pages 

This is a great graphic novel about friendships, villains, heroines, and cats. Lots of cats! In fact, Katie finds herself taking care of 218 of them.  She is catsitting to earn money to go to summer camp with her friends.  Living in a city, in an apartment building, she tries her hands at all kinds of odd jobs.  Most of her jobs are flops.  Then she finds this very strange job taking care of so many smart cats.  They have lots of special skills and even though they can destroy the apartment in the evening, when the owner comes home all is fixed and ready as though nothing happened.  Katie also becomes suspicious of the woman who owns all these cats.  What is she doing out late every night? Does it have anything to do with the news reports about the crime happening in the city? 

What a fun story and a perfect graphic novel for the younger middle grade reader.  I hope there are more to come!
