The Adventures of Kitty Corner is a warm, adventurous, and compassion‑driven chapter‑book series aimed at readers aged 7–10. Written by award‑winning children’s author Natalie Knox, the series follows Lucy, a young girl who moves to a new town and discovers friendship, purpose, and plenty of furry excitement through a local feral cat colony. 

Knox’s series shines with heartfelt storytelling, gentle adventure, and an uplifting focus on kindness toward animals. Set under the sunny skies of southern Spain, each story blends light suspense with meaningful lessons about empathy, responsibility, and community. The books are short, accessible, and filled with the sort of small‑scale stakes that feel big and important to young readers—lost kittens, mysterious trespasser cats, unexpected dangers, and tricky rescue situations.

Young animal lovers, especially cat‑obsessed readers, will find the series irresistible.

At its core, the series explores friendship, belonging, and caring for animals in need. Lucy’s loneliness after moving to a new town, followed by her growing confidence as she bonds with neighbors and the cat colony, feels authentic and comforting for readers facing similar life changes.

Each book features a self‑contained storyline:

• Book 1: A Risky Rescue – Lucy must help save a pregnant cat and her kittens trapped in a dangerous spot.
• Book 2: A Tricky Trespasser – A mysterious white cat shakes up the colony with bullying behavior. Lucy investigates why.
• Books 3–5 – A Deadly Danger, A Frightful Foe, and A Chilly Challenge continue the mix of suspense, mystery, and compassionate problem‑solving.

This structure makes the series great for emerging readers transitioning into chapter books.

Knox subtly introduces children to concepts like caring for feral cats, safe animal handling, and the importance of managing cat populations (including mentions of neutering—though not in depth). This makes the books a gentle entry point for conversations about responsible pet care.

The Adventures of Kitty Corner is a delightful, wholesome, and gently adventurous chapter‑book series that gives young readers a heartwarming look at animal care and community kindness. Natalie Knox writes with sincerity, empathy, and a clear love for cats.

If you know a young reader who loves animals—or one who’s just beginning to explore chapter books—this series is a wonderful pick. Check out more about this series on https://kittycornerbooks.com
