review 1: This book was hilarious! I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time. Set in a modern day Chicago where people have important Talents (superpowers), teen Natalie Ng (pronounced ‘Ing’) only has the embarrassing talent of being able to talk to cats, and she doesn’t want anyone to know about it. But when she sees a YouTube video of a popular celebrity blogger carrying a yowling cat, she is the only one who realizes that the cat is telling everyone that his person has been kidnapped, and that this woman holding him prisoner is an imposter. Natalie and her friends set out to rescue the real owner of the cat, and at once everything starts to go wrong. We begin with the familiar landscapes of a smart, funny, but shy teenage girl who has a crush on a certain guy at high schoo... morel, and we head straight into filming a tribute to Ferris Beuller’s Day Off, where her star-struck best friends are less than helpful. It’s up to Natalie to be the brains behind the rescue, and we see her character grow as the fun continues. Rollicking adventure and desperate attempts to stop the villain follow, and of course the cats end up as the heroes. I enjoyed Natalie’s personality, but I enjoyed the antics and comments of the cats even more. If you’ve ever wished you knew what your cat was saying, think again. This lighthearted YA Urban Fantasy was definitely a good read!
review 2: A fun romp that combines fantasy, humor and mystery. In a family of over-achievers all gifted with high-class "talents," Natalie sticks out like a sore thumb. Her talent is merely the ability to talk to cats. Useless, right? She is content to be the invisible daughter at home; the invisible member of her trio of flamboyant friends at school. But when her ability lands her in the middle of the kidnapping of a high profile gossip blogger, the fun really begins. Nat can't tell how she came by the information--only her family and best friends know about her ability. So, of course the intrepid trio set out to solve the mystery themselves. Not that Nat is eager to jump in-she prefers the shadows. But she is dragged along for the ride. And a wild ride it is. Fun. less
