Read full series description
Set in a city where masked vigilantes scale rooftops and chaos crackles just beneath the surface, Katie the Catsitter is a wildly clever middle-grade graphic novel series that flips the superhero genre on its tail—literally. At the center is Katie, a smart, funny, and just-a-little-bit-lonely kid who stumbles into the world of crimefighting not with gadgets or powers, but through an after-school job… watching 217 cats. The catch? These cats aren’t just house pets. They're elite operatives with names like Microwavette and Whiskerface—and they just might be working for the city's most infamous supervillain.
What unfolds is a delightfully offbeat coming-of-age adventure, full of sharp humor, sly twists, and a surprising amount of heart. While the story delivers laugh-out-loud moments and high-stakes hijinks, it also explores friendship, trust, and finding your place when the world feels just a little too big (or too full of feline felons). The illustrations crackle with personality, perfectly capturing the absurd charm of a world where cats scale walls and middle school drama can be more intense than any supervillain showdown.
Blending graphic novel storytelling with superhero satire and just enough emotional depth to tug at the heart, this series has earned its place on shelves next to modern kid lit favorites like Smile and New Kid. But it’s the quiet, quirky brilliance of its storytelling—and those unforgettable cats—that keep readers coming back.
Perfect for young readers who crave humor with brains, adventure with a wink, and cats who can pick locks. Lots of cats.
