This second book in the exciting new middle-grade series about the adventures of a little girl and her three tiny Pocket Cats is sure to delight young independent readers.
When Maddy discovers another one of the cats has come to life, she can't wait to get to know Nibs and start using her new magical power. But Nibs doesn't seem very friendly, and she's here for a reason—there's a new problem to be solved. It doesn't take long for Maddy and Nibs to figure out who needs their help. Maddy's cousin Chloe is having trouble settling into her new school. She's so miserable that she's decided to run away. Can Maddy and Nibs use their Shadow Magic to stop her?
Kitty Wells, aka Lee Weatherly, was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA. She moved to the UK in 1995, and now lives in Hampshire with her husband. Lee's first book for children, Child X, was published by David Fickling Books in June 2002. It was shortlisted for the Sheffield Book Award, the Leicester Book Award and the Red House Children's Book Award. Lee has written three more books for older children for DFB, and is also the author of Bloomsbury's Glitterwings Academy series for younger children.
I came across this series a number of years ago when my older daughter started reading chapter books. Now my younger daughter has discovered the books so we've each been reading the series.
This is the 2nd book of the series. The stories and the problems that need to be solved resonate with young and old alike. You add in a bit a magic to and your imagination soars.
If you're looking for a good simple story with a lesson and a bit of love, friendship and hope, read this book. Great for a buddy read.
