★ "The complex yet effortless mixture of tween angst with superhero
subplots is a recipe for success." –School Library Journal, starred
review
Praise for the first Katie the Catsitter!

who gets swept up in the feline drama? I loved Katie!” —Lucy
Knisley, New York Times bestselling author of Stepping Stones
“A winner.” —Nick Bruel, New York Times bestselling author of
the Bad Kitty series
“Super fun and utterly delightful.” —Gene Luen Yang, New York
Times bestselling author of American Born Chinese
"Young readers will revel in the heroic antics, and older
ones, like me, will be tickled by the Easter eggs strewn
throughout. The sweet and funny nature of this book
is expertly reflected in Yue’s energetic art and seemingly
effortless line work." —New York Times
★”Neko Atsume meets The Tick in this laugh-out-loud
funny, well-paced series starter…Yue’s expressive cartoons
complement this enchanting story, the first in a series with a
promising cast of characters—feline and
otherwise.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
“A little evil and a whole lotta fun.” —Kirkus Reviews
“A winsome mix of adventure, humor, and realistic middle
grade problems, ideal for readers seeking the whimsy of
Dav Pilkey’s “Dog Man” tempered with thereassuring tone of
Raina Telgemeier’s
work.” —School Library Journal
“A pro-girl comic to encourage adventure, entrepreneurship,
and excellent, pun-filled pet names.” —BCCB
“Venable’s twisty plot swoops gleefully around Manhattan, touching
on everything from animal activism to evolving relationships to a
secret rescue mission, and combining to tell the story of
one of the least boring summers ever.” —BookPage
“Realism and absurdity snuggle harmoniously, with such delightful
dichotomies as grumpy moggy Moritz knocking over glasses as calico
Jolie plays MMORPGs while donning enormous headphones.” —The
Bulletin
"Sight gags, sly humor, pop-culture references, and a dollop of
animal-rights activism combine to make Katie’s story a fun
one." —Booklist
