The third Pocket Cat has come to life, and this time the problem that needs solving is in Maddy's ballet class. Ollie's tingling whiskers tell him that Maddy's best friend is about to give up on ballet, even though she loves it. When Maddy uses her new magic power to boost Rachel's confidence, Rachel lands the star part in the ballet school's big show . . . and Maddy is desperately jealous. On opening night, Rachel needs the cat magic more than ever, but is Maddy strong enough to put her best friend first? "From the Hardcover edition."

Read this to my daughter and she said it was worthy of 5 stars. Personally I’d give it a solid 3.5 but the lack of character development really held this book from taking off lol.
The main character, Maddy gets to help her feline friends resolve another dilemma in this book. This time though, jealousy and eventually growth are part of the story.
This story just wasn't as thought our or exciting as the first 2 books. The lessons one needs to learn are weaved in, but the overall story keeps it to a superficial level.
The series is still worth reading. You really want to go in sequence to understand the progression of the three cats.
