Kya can use Reesk, or magic, with the will of her conscience. Eliza can change into any animal as long as she has seen it before. And Sebastian has an unexpected connection to a boy who just vanished into a painting at the local museum.

The Grimalkin Secret is a mix of Harry Potter and the Percy Jackson series because of it's magic, mystery and adventure. I would recommend this book to Percy Jackson and Harry potter fans. (Morgan Back, 10)

As a parent I loved this book. The kids go through a fantastic, adventurous journey as they learn about their individual gifts. Alongside the painting that come to life, the magic, the dragons etc is also the characters learning how to deal with doubt, fear, and success. (Morgan Back's Mom :-) )

The book was AWESOME! It was fun, it was different, unique, and caught me laughing quite a bit. It was intelligent yet easy to follow. And I finished it in a day because I couldn't put the book down. And I still think Kara should write another book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This was a great book!
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2014
This was a great book! I kept wanting more and more magic and adventure as I read. I also like how there is a lot of connection & understanding. This book also gives a lot of suspense. Kya, Eliza and Sebastian used their individual powers to help people and save them. The plot is great, so is the mystery; this book comes together very well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good kids book
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2013
My 10-year-old daughter really enjoyed reading this book. The kids are the heroes. There's lots of good action, and some fun twists like paintings coming to life, and no bratty attitudes or other things that would concern me as a parent.
