Cat Kid joins the case when a famous movie star goes missing and the evidence refuses to make sense. The partnership that results is distinctly uneven, which is where most of the jokes come from.
Book four of Dav Pilkey's series runs on quick comic sequences, colour artwork and a mystery plot simple enough for a young reader to follow while still holding a surprise or two. Friendship, teamwork and sticking with a problem show up as themes without interrupting the pace. The format continues to work particularly well for children who find long prose chapters discouraging rather than inviting.
What young readers get:
• A rescue-and-mystery plot involving a well-known movie star
• Dog Man and Cat Kid working as a pair for the first time
• Comic panels and colour illustration throughout
• A reading level suited to children who prefer pictures with their plots
Good for children aged about eight to twelve and for anyone completing a Dog Man set. Available in English at Boipoka.
