Cat & Cat Adventures: Magic at the Mansion

Gr 2 Up–Cat & Cat, aka Squash and Ginny, are once again in trouble because of magic, and they will once again have to persuade new characters to be on their side. Together, they must try to locate the second orb of the Staff of Knowledge as quickly as possible. The more time passes, the more the spirit world is forming rifts in the human world, which is becoming more and more dangerous. As with the other books in the Cat & Cat series, the story of a magical adventure contains lessons about friendship and learning to trust one another. This time, our heroes must find their way through a mysterious mansion, rescue their friends who were kidnapped, find the missing orb, and work together as a team. While other books in the series could be read as stand-alone stories, this volume follows immediately after the events of the previous one, with little overview of the rules of this world. The artwork is cute and colorful, featuring plenty of adorable fluffy characters with big eyes and big appetites.
