Her first few tries at jobs don&#8217;t go so well but then she lands a job catsitting for Ms. Lang in Apartment 5B. Sure, the cats are&#8230; odd&#8230;. and there&#8217;s so many of them (217!) and it&#8217;s weird that Ms. Lang goes out every night, but it&#8217;s good money.

Plus, so many cats!\u00a0Are there actually 217 cats in this book? I honestly don&#8217;t know, because I kept getting distracted around 100. The names and areas of expertise are hilarious (bath bombs?? and what does &#8220;splitting up teams&#8221; <em>mean<\/em>???). But it&#8217;s also balanced by a nuanced understanding of a tween growing up, about drifting apart from friends and finding new ones, about how the way the world seems as a kid isn&#8217;t exactly the whole picture. There&#8217;s a lot of overt messaging about animal rights and abuses, but there&#8217;s also a lot about economic disparities which I thought was handled more subtly but very well. Katie and her mom can&#8217;t afford to send her away for a summer&#8217;s worth of camp, and even one week seems like an insurmountable amount at times. Bethany&#8217;s mom offers to pay for it, but Katie&#8217;s determined to earn the money herself, even if it means having to outsmart some couch-thieving cats. Watching Katie figure out how to handle a bunch of furry menaces was adorable, entertaining and, in some ways, inspiring.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8598\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-07-at-9.41.56-AM.png?resize=400%2C305\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-07-at-9.41.56-AM.png?resize=300%2C229&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-07-at-9.41.56-AM.png?resize=768%2C585&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-07-at-9.41.56-AM.png?w=856&amp;ssl=1 856w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The artwork is gorgeous, full color and full of details, and perfectly reflects the balance of humor as well as the greater storyline.
