I got this out of the library and I read it two times that day

Certainly not my favorite of the series. Cat and assorted friends set off for France in the midst of the French Revolution. Cat is there on a mission for Mr. Sherridan. Cat is also undercover as a ballerina for all of pretty much nil of the book. Frank finds this highly amusing. Frank, sweet as ever, is in France with Cat. The rest of the Avon family is incarcerated in a French prison for spying. Syd is off on a boxing tour and missing Cat. Billy, as obsessed with Cat as ever, demands that she bring him a prize in order to stay off his creepy affections.

Great!

The third book was a charm!

It's no great work of art, but it's a nice, easy-read page turner. Don't expect to be stunned by the writing, but you will be amused.

this iss one of my favorit books

great adventure story.

Such a purely enjoyable read. Julia Golding has writing charisma to spare. (And, it is always a joy to find another engaging female hero in kids' fiction.)

As a young teen read, I really enjoyed it. It would have needed some editing and more conversation to make it a 5-star adult read. Cat is an interesting character, along with her fellow compatriots, enemies, and extras. There is a bit of history thrown in, and a lot of speculation.

Cat Royal Series #3. The series is starting to get a little perfuntory but the characters are still interesting. Cat, a feisty heroine who finds herself homeless, is offered a chance to make some money by spying for Mr. Sheridan at the beginning of the French Revolution in Paris. Caught up in the events, she must rescue her friends the Duke of Avon and his family when they are imprisoned in the Bastille, all while disguised as a member of a ballerina troupe. Suitors beseige her on all sides to her bafflement. Fun, but the writing is suffering from author fatique with her characters.

Still don't ship Cat and Billy.
