About the Book

Book Synopsis

Destiny is a tricky thing. By its very nature, it cannot be avoided. Hiro and Kimba thought they were free from the pull of their destiny and the scheming of the alien Cats in the Mirror. But when the family goes away on an extended vacation, the sisters find themselves right back in the middle of it all again. A week is an eternity for a cat left behind. Without Daddy's love and care, will Hiro be tempted to join her cat family and leave Earth behind? Will finding out who they really are change the sisters' lives forever?

"Vacation Hiro" is the second book in the award-winning Cats in the Mirror series and is a Silver Mom's Choice Honoree and Story Monsters Approved.

Some cats are born on Earth and never know who they really are. Other are sent. They are undercover for their years on Earth. They know who they are. They know that they are not from Earth at all. And they are part of a bigger plan.

Review Quotes

"Great reading for elementary upper grades and middle schoolers or anyone who enjoys cat stories, highly recommend. I enjoyed as well as my granddaughters." amazon.com review

"Another winner by this talented children's author. The story's characters are adorably portrayed with the very real characteristics we cat lovers see daily, but brought to life with humanistic personalities that make this tale truly entertaining. 'Vacation Hiro, ' by award-winning author Meg Welch Dendler, is another exciting fantasy book appropriate for middle grade youth, cat lovers, or animal lovers in general. This chapter book, perfect for school rooms and personal libraries, comes complete with added photos to personalize the experience." Arkansas Book Reviewer

"When I finished reading and reviewing 'Why Kimba Saved the World, ' I couldn't imagine Meg Dendler surpassing that story or the personification of the animals in her first book in the Cats in the Mirror Series. I. Was. Wrong! Once again, Dendler has developed the cats and one dog in her story to be exactly as we see them day-to-day, those of us who are cat and dog lovers. Personally, I own a black-and-white tuxedo girl, and with each page turn she leaps out at me as Hiro does this or that. Dendler possesses a talent for character development. As before, 'Vacation Hiro' does not lack for action, dialogue, and enough suspense to keep any reader engaged. When I say 'any reader, ' this is a book not just for the middle reader, but also for animal lovers, those who love to read about animals, grandparents and parents to read to those younger than middle readers, and anyone who loves a touch of fantasy." Sherrey Meyer, Found Between The Covers

Perfect for ages 4-8, ages 9-12, and even cat loving adults.
