Nick's Reviews > The Kingdom of Carbonel

This is the second book in the delightful series about magical cats and children. It's even better than the first one, as -- unusually -- Sleigh gathers confidence and settles into the characters with gusto. The children are growing up a little, too, and the author is very good at tracking the subtle differences and shifts in attitude as they grow. A classic series in a splendid edition by the New York Review of Books. I want (almost) every single book in the Children's Collection!
