Princess Fuzzypants here:
Before I go any further, let me voice my one complaint. While the book does have a ghost kitty named Tabitha, as a cat I believe the author has a decidedly anti-feline bent. She is not portrayed as nobly as the ghost dog, Dog, but it is a small matter in the scheme of the entire book.
This is a delightful story of two very special children discovering their hidden powers when they move into a new home. Luckily, they have neighbour's who can help guide them and are also joined by two "familiars", the dog and cat (and a bunny named Fluffy).
They learn about a world of magic which is both wonderful and fearful.
As they are learning to hone their skills, their mother is kidnapped by a Fairy King. They must gird their courage and strength to go rescue her.
It is a charming story that has enough suspense and danger to please the older reader yet not so much to scare the younger one. It is an excellent book for the youthful reader but my Momma enjoyed it too. She's old.
I can give this a rousing five purrs and two paws up- despite the dog bias
