School, sidekick training, and a tangle of friendships

As a new school year begins, Katie finds that being a superhero’s sidekick brings its own complications: her training disappoints, the Mousetress is blamed for things Katie believes she didn’t do, and tensions grow between Katie and her friends. Beth’s return—and the presence of Beth’s new boyfriend—adds another strain to their friendship. Katie sets out to clear the Mousetress’s name and identify the real supervillain, with 217 unusual cats in her corner. The graphic novel brings its superhero mystery together with the everyday challenges of keeping friendships intact as school and responsibilities shift.

Book overview

It's back to school for Katie the Catsitter in the second book of a purr-fectly irresistible, bestselling graphic novel series about friendship, superheroes, and cats--lots of cats!

"Readers will revel in the heroic antics."--The New York Times

"Ideal for readers seeking the whimsy of Dav Pilkey's 'Dog Man' tempered with the reassuring tone of Raina Telgemeier's work."--School Library Journal

Katie had a great summer in New York City skateboarding with her skate crew, and loves the fact that she's officially a superhero sidekick. But now that school is starting up again, everything is changing. For starters, the Mousetress is getting blamed for things Katie knows she didn't do. And sidekick training is NOT as exciting as she'd hoped. In addition to the stress of her side gig, Katie's best friend Beth is back in town, and Beth's new boyfriend is always hanging around (ugh!). Not to mention that all of Katie's friends are mad at her. Fixing this will be harder than any skateboarding trick. But with the help of 217 slightly out of the ordinary cats, Katie's going to try!

Can she clear the Mousestress's name, uncover the real supervillain in town, and become the sidekick (and the friend) she's always dreamed of being? Some heroes have capes . . . Katie has cats!

With charming illustrations and laugh-out-loud humor, this feline-friendly adventure series shows how, with the right catitude, anything is pawsible!
