Katie the Catsitter #3: Secrets and Sidekicks by Colleen AF Venable is dearly loved by my 12-year-old daughter. She loves Katie, the playfulness of the cats, how they helped with the cases, how cute and funny everything is, and the mystery and secrets. The ending is amazing, and she can't wait to read #4, as this series is one of the best to her. A solid 5 stars! Thank you to Random House Children's for providing us with an ARC.

Again I was able to share a NetGalley read with my kiddo! We liked the 3rd Katie the Cat sitter book, because we finally got to find out so many hero and villain identities. The friendship drama added a side plot, and we’re happy for Katie because she doesn’t have to keep her secrets from her mom anymore! We love the name Cheesy Justice for Katie! Overall, my kiddo thought that the graphic novel was funny and cute. We recommend reading the other two books in this series first. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley. This book was a quick, fun read. There are parts I felt were a little underdeveloped but I know my students will enjoy it as much as the first two. The superhero cat angle is whimsical and amusing.

Katie the Catsitter: Secrets & Sidekicks is the third installment of this fun series. In this book, Katie is learning to be a sidekick while also trying to figure out who is behind the robot attacks on the city. She is also dealing with some friendship struggles. This is a solid third book with more character development and action. I can't wait to see what Katie is going to do next.

My 5 yo daughter wanted me to type this review. We pre-ordered the book and she started reading it right after it was delivered. We're looking forward to the next book.
