Paula Harrison’s new series is thoroughly charming. Little Kitty’s mum is a superhero, a proper cat woman who goes out at night to help people. Kitty has feline superpowers too but she’s only little and not confident enough yet to use them; and she’s a bit afraid of the dark too. But an emergency call for help when her mum is away means that Kitty has to put on her superhero cloak for real. It’s then that she discovers she’s braver than she thinks she is, and that with the help of her new friends – a trio of characterful cats – there’s not much she can’t do.

Kitty and her friends are hugely appealing characters and this little story is full of useful, important lessons about friendship, bravery, and finding courage within yourself. It is a perfect book for little girls and boys confidently reading on their own.  Jenny Løvlie’s illustrations in black and orange make for some lovely, atmospheric moonlight scenes and Kitty’s cat friends and kitten Pumpkin are super-cute. There are more books to come about Kitty and this series is going to be very popular with its readers, and deservedly so.
