Thank you Netgalley for my gifted copy. My daughter rated this book a 5. She is obsessed with cats and graphic novels and loves quirky books like this one.

Max is just getting used to having his super powers. The villain looks like Max and wants to take the world's donut supply. Can Max and Mindy save the day with everyone thinking they are the bad guys?
This is like Dog Man for cat people. This book has everything my middle schoolers are looking for in a book. It is ridiculously fun. I love this series so much and told my local comic shop that they needed to order the entire series.
It is witty and perfect for students. The teacher in me loves that the larger vocabulary words are defined and the attention to detail. For example, on page 17 you see a giant penguin and you learn that there are people in the eyes controlling the it. If you go back to the first time you see the robot, what I thought were pupils in the eyes are actually penguin shaped people.
I could not stop laughing and will be buying both a copy for me and a copy for my classroom.

I received an eARC courtesy of Random House & NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
Fans of the first book, as well as books like Dog-Man, Investigators & HiLo, are going to be ecstatic to see Max & Mindy back at it again. This book is not my thing AT ALL, but kids love it. It has a great blend of over-the-top humor, ridiculous plot devices and strange characters-everything that makes a graphic novel beloved by kids.
For libraries: Definitely a great idea for purchase. You might not particularly enjoy it, but your kids certainly will.

Thanks to NetGalley & Random House Children's for the early copy in exchange for an honest review.
This follows a superhero cat and his scientist sidekick when they foil supervillains' weird plans involving donuts.
A weird nitpick, but I really didn't like the font used for the speech bubbles. Perhaps this is because it's an early copy or something, but it felt really off and didn't belong somehow. I hope they smooth it out in the final copy.
Fans of Dog Man will certainly adore this crime-fighting cat series!
