Pocket Cats by Kitty Wells-ADVISABLE

Pocket Cats: Paw PowerWells, Kitty, Pocket Cats. Random House Books, 2010. Language: G, Violence: G, Sexual Content: G

Maddy has always wanted a cat, but her brother, Joshua is allergic to them. When she goes to an antique market, she finds three ceramic cats that catch her eye. When she gets them home, however, they come to life. The leader, Greykin, reveals that they have been sent to help Maddy with her school bully problem. Will Maddy find the courage to confront her school bully problems? Will Maddy be able to keep the cats or will they have to leave once she solves her problem?

A cute, fun read for cat fans. The characters are fairly well-developed for an early chapter book. The plot does a good job of holding the reader’s interest. Readers who like cats, realistic fiction, and school stories will enjoy reading this book. EL (K-3). ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Kira M, Youth Services Librarian, WHI Public Library.
