Jeśli znacie już Kati, wiecie, że kolejny tom z pewnością Wam się spodoba!
A jeśli jeszcze nie mieliście okazji jej poznać, koniecznie nadróbcie zaległości.
Seria ta łączy miłość do kotów, superbohaterskie przygody, sporą dawkę humoru i problemy bliskie młodym czytelnikom.

W poprzednich tomach poznawaliśmy Kati, jej kocią gromadkę, przyjaciółki i coraz bardziej skomplikowany świat superbohaterów. Były przyjaźnie wystawiane na próbę, sekrety, niespodziewani sojusznicy i pomysły, które potrafiły zaskoczyć nawet samą bohaterkę.

W piątym tomie również nie brakuje zamieszania. W szkole i relacjach z przyjaciółmi nie wszystko układa się po myśli Kati, dziewczynka martwi się, czy uda jej się kontynuować naukę z koleżankami. Z kolei w Nowym Jorku trwa wyborcza rywalizacja Magdy z burmistrzem, który nie przepada za superbohaterami i zakazuje ich działalności! Kocia ekipa angażuje się w kampanię do tego stopnia, że planują nawet skoczyć na Złol Con, żeby sprawdzić czy festiwal ma jakieś powiązania z burmistrzem. Będziecie zaskoczeni jak bardzo się ta wycieczka przyda i jak ciekawy morał podsunie!

Najbardziej podoba mi się w tej serii połączenie zwyczajnych spraw z niezwykłymi przygodami. Przyjaźń, emocje i codzienne rozterki przeplatają się tutaj z tajemnicami, akcją i zabawnymi sytuacjami. Dzięki temu historia nie jest wyłącznie opowieścią o superbohaterach, ale również o relacjach, czy podejmowaniu decyzji.

Jeśli szukacie uroczego, kolorowego komiksu pełnego humoru, przyjaźni i kocich bohaterów, ta seria zdecydowanie zasługuje na uwagę.
Kati ma w sobie coś, co sprawia, że jej przygody trudno odłożyć na bok!

My son and his friends have started playing ninja turtles at recess, so I brought this early graphic novel with us to the pediatrician’s office. He’s become obsessed with graphic novels and loved this one. It’s perfect for the kindergarten age. Super cute, easy sight words for him to read along with me, and the perfect length to read before the doctor appears.

Loved this book.
Didn’t love having another ear infection 😂
