Fashion Kitty versus the Fashion Queen

by Charise Mericle Harper, Charise Mericle Harper (Illustrator)

Overview

After her last adventure, Fashion Kitty is truly becoming a hero. At school, she is more popular than ever. She's even been mentioned in several articles in the local newspaper, (which she clips out and saves in a scrapbook, of course). But not everyone is excited about Fashion Kitty's newfound popularity. A spoiled new kitty named Cassandra doesn't like sharing the spotlight. And when Fashion Kitty starts inspiring the other kitties at school to be more independent about their style choices, Cassandra really doesn't like it.

Editorial Reviews

Gr 4-7 Kiki Kittie's secret identity is Fashion Kitty, a superhero who rescues victims from fashion emergencies. She comes to the rescue when a new girl at school, Cassandra, bullies students into dressing alike in dull, monochromatic outfits. The illustrations' clean lines and childlike playfulness resemble the drawings in both Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm's "Babymouse" (Random) and Dav Pilkey's "Captain Underpants" (Scholastic). However, this book lacks the mischievous edge of those books. The story contains some obvious lessons; "nobody likes a litterbug," the narrator preciously reminds readers at one point. She also panders to readers by defining words throughout. Still, the funny story and attractive art should make this title popular.-Lisa Goldstein, Brooklyn Public Library, NY
