Miss Cat: The Case of the Curious Canary
by Jean-Luc Fromental, Joëlle Jolivet (illustrator) & translated by Jill Phythian
This is the first volume in a quirky and stylish new graphic novel series. Miss Cat has the air of a noir detective, and there is a little bit of menace in the story. Adults reading for children will enjoy various references, but most of all this is an excellent chapter book for kids who have recently learnt to read by themselves. The second volume is Miss Cat: The Gnome's Nightmare.

The Best New Books for 6-8 Year Olds, recommended by Our Children's Editor
The past year has been a particularly good year for chapter books for emerging readers. It can be hard to find good books for 5-8 year olds to read for pleasure (as opposed to learning to read), but this year has a great crop of entertaining easy reads. Our children’s editor, Tuva Kahrs, picks her favourites.
