Book Review: Cat on the Run (Episode 2: Cucumber Madness!) by Aaron Blabey

 

I have fallen in love with graphic novels and the first Cat on the Run book was part of that, so I am very excited to be bringing you the review of the second book in the series: Cat on the Run, Episode 2: Cucumber Madness!

Below, I've popped the trailer for the first book to give you a little insight into this great graphic novel.

 

Cat on the Run is a fantastic book. It was created by Aaron Blabey, who wrote the brilliant Bad Guys series.

This series is aimed at readers aged 7-10 years, but can definitely be enjoyed by those who are older or more visual readers. I also think it's nice for children to have options other than chunky novels and pictureless books. So many children in my class love a graphic novel and are currently working their way through my personal and classroom collection.

The first book focused on the storyline of when the world's biggest cat video star - Princess Beautiful - gets accused of a crime she didn't commit. She goes on the run (hence the title) and tries to prove her innocence, whilst avoiding those who are after her.

The second book in the series - Episode 2: Cucumber Madness! - is just as exciting and enjoyable as the first. I knew I was going to like this book and the humour of it just from the name. I immediately pictured those videos of people putting cucumbers near cats and their freaky reactions when the cats spot them. I had high expectations for this book after enjoying the first one and it did not disappoint.

Overall, this is just such a fun story with incredible illustrations. It's a real page turner and is easy and enjoyable to read. Aaron Blabey has done it again, creating another fantastic children's book. I'm already looking forward to book three!

Thank you again to Scholastic for gifting me this beautiful book in exchange for an honest review. It is very much appreciated.
