Fashion Kitty is a graphic novel about a kitten family. The main character, Kiki, describes her family as different from other cats because they have a pet mouse and are vegetarians. One day at Kiki's birthday a shelf full of fashion magazines falls on Kiki and when she wakes up she is no longer a kitten, but a fashion kitty! She has super powers including being able to fly and being very fashionable. She comes to the rescue of her a girl from school was going to wear something embarrassing to school because a popular girl was trying to trick her. Fashion Kitty shows her what to wear instead and then sneaks into the popular girls room and plays a prank on her. She makes her think drawing circles around her eyes is cool. When she gets to school everyone laughs at her, but luckily the girl who fashion kitty helped comes to her rescue by letting her borrow a pair of glasses. The girls become friends.
Fashion Kitty is a graphic novel targeted for girls. I thought this was nice because when you think of graphic novels, you think of superhero stories that boys usually prefer to read. This was nice because it allowed for a girl to be a superhero and be relatable to girls. I also liked that when using a word that the author did not the the readers would know, he starred it and put the meaning in the bottom. An example of this is when she used faux pas.
This graphic novel was easy to follow along with and was a quick read. The pictures were done in black, white, grey, and pink. I liked the fact that they stuck to a color scheme the entire time that was different then anything else I had seen. It seemed to work for this story. I think this graphic novel would be good for students in 3rd and 4th grade. It is a fun story that will make girls want to be fashion superheros!
