Less than 24 hours after receiving our copies, the eldest and I have already finished it, and I've read the first 20 pages aloud to the KitKatPandaBatWolf. Oh, we love these books. And this morning I realized why. Unlike so many books for the new novel reader (those Daisy Meadows books, for example) there's a little bit of snark here. Not a lot. Just enough to keep the fantasy grounded. The girls are confronted with big mysteries, but also with the mundane aspects of life. There are mysterious gifts, and groceries to buy. Evil people to thwart, and regular folks doing their jobs. They may share magical powers with their respective cats, but there are still litter boxes to scoop.

I love this series.

My daughter is in 3rd grade and loves to read book that are part of a series so I am always on the lookout for a good series. This one is perfect for her- she likes mysteries but nothing too scary. She absolutely flew through the series and can not wait until the next 2 books are published. We've recommended it to lots of friends looking for good books. My only complaint is that the books are a bit short!

My daughter is 9, but does read at a higher reading level. I have some trouble finding books that are challenging, interesting, and appropriate for her age. It is an easy read, but she absolutely loves this series. We pre-order each book and it can't come fast enough for her.

The book was one of 12 my wife and I bought for our grand daughter's summer reading. She has enjoyed all of them....
