And she’s hanging out with some new skateboarding friends, which is creating further friction with best friend Beth. Also, everyone is so obsessed with the Eastern Screech and Stainless Steel, while believing the Mousetress to be evil, which Katie knows she isn’t (since she’s her neighbor-and owner of those 217 cats-and Katie’s mentor). The distance that was already growing with her best friend widens when she gets a boyfriend, making Katie feel left behind. The rest of her life is keeping her busy, even if her superhero life isn’t currently the most interesting thing ever. Is being a sidekick really just about answering emails and waiting around while a hero binges a baking reality show? Yawn. Here, Katie is wondering when she will ever get to go on a mission, or really start training as a sidekick to the Mousetress, or get to carry out a good PLAN (all caps, of course). I want to be friends with Katie and get roped into all of her adventures. Then when I book-talked it at school, it got lots of interest, particularly when I said, “217 cats!” It never sits on the shelf longer than a class period and as my tweet above shows, despite me trying to hide the sequel while I read it, it was spied immediately and sweetly asked for.
