Overview
Meet Kitty, a brave girl with secret cat-like powers, in this six-book paperback set of quick, fun mystery adventures from author Paula Harrison. Perfect for confident early readers around ages 5 to 7, each story follows Kitty as she springs into action to solve a new puzzle in her hometown of Hallam City. Short chapters, warm humor, and gentle suspense make these stories ideal for independent reading, bedtime stories, or classroom read-alouds. Kids who love animal heroes, teamwork, and a touch of magic will find plenty here, building reading confidence one satisfying adventure at a time.

About the Books
This collection gathers six adventures from the Kitty series, following the numbering of books seven through twelve in Paula Harrison's popular run of feline superhero stories. In each title, Kitty relies on her cat-like agility, sharp senses, and quick thinking to untangle a mystery that pops up in ordinary places around Hallam City, from a runaway steam train to a theatre stage, a museum gallery, a school concert, a woodland campsite, and a case involving a kidnapped pet. Rather than repeating the same formula, every story shifts the setting and the stakes, giving young readers a fresh cast of side characters and clues to follow while Kitty's core traits, courage, curiosity, and kindness, stay reassuringly consistent. The books are written in short, punchy chapters with plenty of white space and line illustrations, making them approachable for children stepping up from picture books into their first chapter books. Dialogue-driven scenes keep the pacing brisk, while Kitty's habit of noticing small details and asking good questions models simple problem-solving skills for readers. Friendship is a steady theme throughout, as Kitty teams up with other young heroes-in-training to figure out what happened and set things right. Because the individual stories are self-contained, families and classrooms can read them in any order, making the set flexible for read-aloud sessions or independent reading time. Collected together, the six paperbacks offer strong value for parents and teachers looking to keep an early reader engaged with a consistent, comforting character across many mini-mysteries.
