Polly Korimako is Hilo’s favorite warrior cat. She is being sent to Wombatton Academy boarding school for breaking too many rules. Accompanied by her little brother, Pip, they discover strange happenings. Students vanishing and her roommate, Noria, is being bullied. This is the tenth book in the Hilo series. Like other books in this series, it contains truth about human behavior in today’s world. Readers learn how to deal with bullies and learn from individuals standing up for each other for the right causes. The artwork is colorful, fun, and full of action. If your students enjoyed reading the first nine in this science fiction Manga series, they will love this one too!
