School Library Journal - 10/01/2025 Gr 3 Up—This entry in a cozy mystery comes with a side of glitter and sequins. Two opposing alliances, E.V.I.L and H.E.R.O., vie for the allegiance of new members who seem normal but boast unique superpowers. Some control time. Others can create clone-like identities: doppelgangers. Readers will relate to the dynamics of this trio of friends. Keeper, Toby, and Y are just like any other kids, only they find themselves in some wild and crazy situations while trying to sleuth out the story of the mysterious key discovered at the Cat's Curiosity shop. Never before have feline characters stolen the show from the superheroes while creating such havoc. With just the slightest hint of a budding romance, full of twists and turns, Keeper's mission will keep readers alert and scrambling for answers. A satisfying reveal of a surprise mastermind tidies up the action and leaves readers ready to dive into the next installment in the series. VERDICT For readers who are clamoring for more adventure in the vein of Alex Rider, Artemis Fowl, and Percy Jackson. - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
