Batcat: Seeing Stars!

What’s it about?

The story.

It's the day Batcat has waited for all year: once a year a wishing star falls on Spooky Isle, granting the heart's wish of one lucky islander. But when it becomes clear that Batcat's wish isn't going to come true, the little bat-cat superhero goes quiet, withdrawn and oh-so blue - literally turning the colour of their mood. Batcat has always had Al the Ghost's back, and now it's Al's turn to help a friend through the sadness of a big disappointment. Meggie Ramm's fourth early-reader graphic novel keeps the series' winning mix of expressive, uncluttered panel art, gentle comedy and real feeling, this time exploring the ache of hoping for something that doesn't happen - and the everyday magic of a friend who won't let you sit in the blue alone. Short chapters, big-hearted characters and a satisfying emotional arc make this an ideal step for children moving into comics, and a reassuring read for anyone who has ever wished hard and been let down. Works beautifully alone or as part of the beloved Batcat series.
