We loved the cat ninja! My 8 year old gives it a 10 out of 5 stars.

Miko's journey to solving the mystery of the missing pup & discovering the truth about her past has many great messages in it. The story flowed well, and was engaging enough to keep my daughters attention. She read the whole book in one sitting! I found the story to be well written with the younger reader in mind.

Loved the various characters, and how they acknowledged their normal rivalries but also were able to put aside their differences and work together when needed. Miko is a strong lead that shows bravery and forgiveness, her personal arc in this story is inspiring to young readers.

We received this book via NetGalley

There was a lot to like about this middle-grade work. A strong female main character. Subtle and not so subtle lessons about love, forgiveness, bravery, empathy, and so much more. Enough action to keep readers on their toes, and enough redemption to offset the story arc of revenge and atonement. For those who loved the Squirrel Squire, this book will not disappoint. For those who have not had the opportunity to enjoy Squirrel Squire, this book serves perfectly well as a standalone.

Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read a digital ARC in return for an honest review.

I loved this book! It is a wonderful fantasy that will keep you turning the pages. I highly recommend this book to everyone who liked Watership Down. I can't wait to see what this author writes next. Thank you Erik DeLeo via NetGalley for the complimentary copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

I loved this book that made me smile and talked to my inner child.
I think it will be loved by both adults and children.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

Part of me is eternally the child who loved Watership Down, the Animals of Farthing Wood and more relevantly, the Redwall books and the Deptford Mice. This was absolutely adorable as well as being a well written animal story in its own right. I tore through it in one sitting then went and bought the previous book. I loved the female feline protagonist and her male mouse side kick was a treat. Highly recommend this smart mid grade animal fantasy.
