About the Book

"Half-cat, half-human Catty Corner navigates the challenges of beginning second grade"--

Book Synopsis

Julie Murphy, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dumplin', brings her signature warm positivity and message of empowerment to her chapter book debut: a series about a big-hearted girl who is half-human, half-cat.

Introducing Catty!

She's a confident second grader who happens to be half-cat, like her mother and grandmother. In this series debut, Catty hits a few rough patches at her new school. So she turns to her fuzzy diary--AKA her "scratch pad"--where she shares her big feelings and documents her adventures. Before long, Catty is making friends and learning to love her new school.

Catty Corner is the natural next read for fans of character-driven chapter books like Junie B. Jones, Ivy & Bean, and Judy Moody.
