When a scaredy-housecat is home alone for the first time, he and his furry friends are forced to face monsters and their fears on a quest to save the day. This new middle-grade graphic novel series is filled with silly jokes, adventure, and a whole lot of fun.

One house, three cats, and a lot of trouble! Buster has only one job: keep the house safe. Too bad he is a massive scaredy-cat. When his owner goes away and he suddenly finds his home filled with monsters, Buster has the biggest challenge he's ever faced. Can he learn to be brave before his owner gets back? In the first volume of a hijinks-filled graphic novel series, the colorful artwork and hilarious characters will keep you laughing until the very end.

Looks Silly, Packs Some Depth

4 stars

I didn't think something like this would get me to tear up or to stop and ponder a line from one of the characters, but here I am.

The art is wonderful (micron pen on paper, scanned and colored digitally), expressive, and fun.

The story is mostly silly, but that is a function of being from the point of view of Buster, a rather naive young housecat.

It touches on personal growth, grief, and the importance of relationships, both with friends and our pets.

Really wonderful, and looking forward to the second book.
