Age 5+
Comic Strip Fiction / Graphic Novels
Enjoy lively, colorful, fairy-tale-style fun with the Whiskers Sisters! Maya has antlers. Mia’s a cat. And May can’t quite talk yet. But they’re all family! They live in the woods with their grandfather, the Guardian of the Forest—and they get into all kinds of adventures with the chatty animals that live nearby. A letter from Mrs. Owl, the Whiskers Sisters’ mail carrier, prompts Mia and Maya to plan a celebration. But their little sister, May, has been swept up in Mrs. Owl’s mailbag! Soon May’s in the woods, organizing the local animals to find a collection of lost letters. But will she make it home in time to join her sisters at the party?

Reviews
Recommended for large graphic novel collections where cute, fanciful titles are popular.
School Library Journal
Give this to readers who want a tale with a heart.
Booklist
There’s a surreal edge to the illustrations (all three siblings have hauntingly large eyes) that fits the unusual nature of their world, and the story’s cartoony innocence and happy ending make this a fine, quirky starter comic for readers moving out of picture books.
