    Maggie Blue and the Dark World” by Anna Goodall features an “underdog” girl protagonist saving her school enemy from the horrible Dark World and its evil ruler, with the help of the talking cat Hoagie (who has serious attitude problems ). Seriously great reading, and I am already checking when the sequel will be announced.
