Vacation Hiro
Cats in the Mirror Series
by Meg Welch Dendler
250 pages – ages 8+
Published by Serenity Mountain Publishing on November 9, 2013
Summary- Hiro and her sister Kimba thought that their ordeal with the cats in the mirror was over after they refused to help them take over the world (in book 1 of the series “Why Kimba Saved the World” cats from outer space try to recruit the kitty sisters in a plot to take over the world by talking to them through mirrors – see my review HERE). When the sisters’ human parents go on vacation, Hiro makes the mistake of talking to the cats in the mirror again, but this time it’s different. The space cats reveal the sisters are not just ordinary cats and they have a destiny to fulfill. Hiro loves her human family but she is curious about who she really is and Kimba is ready to go on an adventure. The sisters find themselves having to make some big decisions about who and what they really are.
What I Thought- Add this one to your summer reading list! In the second book of the Cats in the Mirror series, Ms. Dendler takes us back into the minds of our pet kitties. I bet a lot of people often think about what their pets are really thinking. Ms. Dendler brings the reader up to speed in this book, so you don’t have to read the first book to know what’s going on (but you should, because it’s a fun book). Vacation Hiro is a fun adventure about what two seemingly regular Earth cats really are. Who knew there is an advanced society of space cats?!? Ms. Dendler’s writing style is very kid-friendly and her story is great for kids of all ages. I think young advanced readers will especially enjoy the book. Vacation Hiro is a unique and imaginative story that gets the reader’s attention. I’m looking forward to reading what these kitty sisters do next!
I give “Vacation Hiro” 4 out of 5 bookworms.

I wouldn’t be surprised to find an advanced race of space kitties. Cats already are far superior creatures to dogs 🙂 This sounds like a fun series!
Uh-oh I have a couple of dogs who follow my blog and hey are scared of kitties… hmm does that make them Scaredy cats?!? 😉
The idea of space kitties is quite frightening.
Hurry! Go back to read my review of Cave Planet with the advanced race of space doggies Rhythm! 😉
This sounds fun! I haven’t started this series- but it is definitely on my list. 😉 Loved this review!
I hope you like it! 😀
Her series is on our TBR list :0)

I think Katrina will love it – Stanley maybe not so much… 😉
Sounds like another cute, unusual book, Erik 🙂 Thanks for the excellent review!
It has a very unique story! 🙂
Hmmm…I have one little boy who happens to love kitties. I think we have a summer reading book!
It’s a nice story for kids. Space cats make it fun. 😉
Nice review, SuperKid! I have this downloaded on my Kindle and look forward to reading it.
I hope you like it! 😀
My son loves cats and has reread the Warriors series a couple of times. He also loves Animal Ark and Vet Volunteer series, so he may just enjoy this. I’ll let him know. Thanks!
Thank you Ms. Hoffmann! 🙂
Cats. Harumph!
Meow!
lol, Mike, it’s a good thing you said that on Erik’s blog and not Sue’s! 😉
Look out! The cat people are out to get you!
I am training my capybara army as we speak.
Here’s a trivia note. I saw in the Time for Kids 2012 Almanac that they had a capybara labeled as a groundhog. We wrote them to point out they’re mixing their rodents up… they never got back to us… Just wondering, how hard is it to train capybara for warfare?
Well done on your Time for Kids Almanac note. An international news organization should do a better job in their fact checking — especially if they are educating kids. Here’s hoping they corrected it in the 2014 edition.
Capybaras are not natural warriors, I’m afraid. They are a sleepy, genial, peace-loving race. But even if they can’t help me take over the world, they are always nice to have around for the occasional cuddle. So no complaints.
“not natural warriors, I’m afraid. They are a sleepy, genial, peace-loving race” – sounds like my dog Clyde 😉
Capys have been known to raise parentless puppies. No joke!
Interesting. 🙂
Erik, every time you mention Clyde, I think of Claude the dog and Mr. Bobblysock. Clyde doesn’t have a pal hanging around, does he? Say Sir Underpants or something? 😉
Nope! Just me! Wait. What? 😉
OK, Erik, you’ve blown your cover! Sir Zorvlac (is that it?!) Underpants! Superhero villains ARE known to wear their underpants—on the outside! Muwahahahahaaaaa… 😉
*mutter mutter…* 😉
I have a lot of cat-lover friends who would swoon over the book cover. 🙂 And earth cats and space cats… hmmm.. interesting.
I think you would like it. 🙂
