Synopsis

The third Pocket Cat has come to life, and this time the problem that needs solving is in Maddy's ballet class.  Ollie's tingling whiskers tell him that Maddy's best friend is about to give up on ballet, even though she loves it. When Maddy uses her new magic power to boost Rachel's confidence, Rachel lands the star part in the ballet school's big show . . . and Maddy is desperately jealous. On opening night, Rachel needs the cat magic more than ever, but is Maddy strong enough to put her best friend first?

From Booklist:

Wells’ third Pocket Cats offering finds ceramic cat Ollie coming to life to help Maddy solve a new problem. Assisted by feline magic, Maddy casts a spell enabling best friend Rachel to shine during ballet auditions; as a result, Rachel is given the role of Clara in The Nutcracker. But pride in her powers soon turns to jealousy, since Maddy had been counting on the part herself. Wells’ breezy style, an emphasis on friendship concerns, and Harrison’s attractive black line illustrations will make this popular with newly independent readers, especially those who love cats and ballet. Three more titles are promised. Grades 2-4. --Kay Weisman
