If I were still 8 years old, I would have devoured this whole series. (I blame this obsession on my parents being allergic to cats. I would have pet the cover and everything.)
My favorite thing that happened was when Lisa saved Flame when his enemy's were super close and she hid him in her bag until they got to Aunt Roses' cottage.
really good just one thing you need to add
The pictures are so beautiful and I would recommend adding more like themes for the setting.ok?
I do not know how people make reviews so looooong

Obviously I was much, much younger when I read these books...
If you've got a younger brother or sister, or a child, I'd highly recommend these books for children up to about age 11. The storylines were imaginative and fun, while the words weren't too difficult to process. Kids with love the adventures of this little kitten (who's actually a lion prince hiding from his uncle).

Well, I started reading this series to my 5 year old daughter and had to finish the book solo because she was too scared of the uncle lion and the poachers. Honestly, I was a bit surprised by the poachers content! Kids facing evils is one thing, kids facing lying and sinister adults is another. Book 2 deals with bullying which seems like a much more age appropriate topic.
In general, can’t fault the book at all. Topic was intriguing. I had to finish it so I knew what happened when my daughter shut down out of fear. Might be a series we revisit later.

When Lisa gets sent to stay with her aunt while her parents take a business trip, she is grumpy. But then she meets a magical orange kitten named Flame. But Flame is actually a young white lion who is supposed to take the throne in his own world hiding from his uncle’s spies for safety. Shortly after she meets John and his horse fly as they are trying to discover who the deer poachers are. Oh the adventures Lisa finds herself on!
Cute and simple. There are some fantastic life-lessons, especially regarding animal care.
This is another book in my quest to explore different juvenile series. This series is extremely popular and I can definitely see why. This book presents that there is such a thing as a magic kitten who's really part of a grandiose royal conspiracy plot. Add to it the fact that the kitten saves the girl from a boring summer in the country and you get instant excitement. I had a difficult time liking the girl--I found her rude and manipulative in a way where her age could not excuse such behavior. Regardless, I understand the draw for early readers. The book does have a good deal of suspense and adventure, and I wasn't always sure what kind of magic the kitten would do next. I'm intrigued by the grand plot though and how that will work throughout the series. I'm not sure if I will read all the books, but you never know.
For: early readers; kitten fans; readers looking for fantasy and adventure; readers wanting wish fulfillment.
Possible red flags: talking back to adults; poaching animals; magic; obvious prejudice toward a group of "travelers/gypsies" on part of the police.

This was cute! A fast read for those still struggling with their reading skills, and a story that will be of interest to most girls. Who wouldn't want a magic kitten?? Parents may find it a bit tedious, but I can easily see girls reading the whole series. The ending sets the story up nicely to continue, yet is contained enough and resolves satisfactorily so that the book stands on its own as well. Fun!
