I read this to my boys (6 and 4) a chapter a night. Overall, it was a cute story. I didnt like how sexist one of the characters came across and a few parts at the end were fairly dark, so I skipped those/read my own version.
I loved the cats! They were hilarious and a very interesting aspect to the story. The MC wad written well. She seemed like an 11 year old.
We have the second story and I'll be reading it to them too.
