Description

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - The first book of a purr-fectly irresistible graphic novel series about friendship, superheroes, and cats--lots of cats!

"Readers will revel in the heroic antics."--The New York Times

"Ideal for readers seeking the whimsy of Dav Pilkey's 'Dog Man' tempered with the reassuring tone of Raina Telgemeier's work."--School Library Journal

Twelve-year-old Katie is dreading a boring summer alone in New York City while her best friend is away at camp--something that's way out of Katie and her mom's budget. That is, unless Katie can figure out a way to earn the money for camp herself. But when Katie gets a job cat sitting for her mysterious upstairs neighbor, Madeline, life gets interesting.

For starters, Madeline has 217 cats (!) and they're not exactly . . . normal. Also, why is she 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!

With irresistible illustrations and laugh-out-loud humor, Katie the Catsitter is a feline-friendly adventure that shows how, with the right catitude, anything is pawsible!
