The art and words work well together, creating a world primarily set in the single building and the surrounding neighborhood. Their naughty evil natures as well as their technology skills make for an unusual job. That all changes when she starts cat-sitting and the fascinating cats take over her life. She goes to school, spends time with her single mother, and looks forward to postcards from her best friend. Set in an urban area filled with less-than-super heroes and crafty villains, Katie’s life is rather mundane. This middle-grade graphic novel is purr-fect feline fun. As she continues to cat sit, Katie starts to believe that the owner just might be the infamous burglar who has been roaming the city despite the local superheroes searching for her. Just when Katie is about to lose yet another job, the cats come together and repair the apartment before their owner returns. They use the computer, 3D print things, order pizzas, and destroy the apartment. Very quickly, Katie realizes that these are not normal cats. But when a neighbor discovers that Katie has a way with cats, she asks her to cat sit her 217 cats, who luckily are trained to use the bathroom rather than litterboxes. Unfortunately, she kills houseplants, isn’t strong enough to lug groceries up the stairs, and cleaning is a bust too. When Katie discovers that she can go for just one week, she creates a plan to earn money in their apartment building. Katie’s friends are heading away to sleepover camp for the summer but Katie and her mother can’t afford for her to attend.
