Gr 4-7-Kiki Kitties secret identity is Fashion Kitty, a superhero who rescues victims from fashion emergencies. She comes to the rescue when a new girl at school, Cassandra, bullies students into dressing alike in dull, monochromatic outfits. The illustrations clean lines and childlike playfulness resemble the drawings in both Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holms Babymouse (Random) and Dav Pilkeys Captain Underpants (Scholastic). However, this book lacks the mischievous edge of those books. The story contains some obvious lessons; nobody likes a litterbug, the narrator preciously reminds readers at one point. She also panders to readers by defining words throughout. Still, the funny story and attractive art should make this title popular."Lisa Goldstein, Brooklyn Public Library, NY"
