Goodreads Synopsis:  

This is the second book in the Cats in the Mirror series.

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?

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.

This middle grade book is perfect for for those who love cat books for kids or animal books for kids and are looking for chapter books.

 The Cats in the Mirror series is a very cute series about cats. I read the first book a while back and then during a freebie promotion on amazon picked up the second book, sadly this sat on my kindle until the author contacted me to review the third book in the series and I am sad that I waited so long to read it.

Vacation Hiro is about one of two kittens, book one really focused on Kimba while this book is about Hiro. Hiro is the shyer of the two kittens and loves her 'daddy', her human companion. In the book Hiro talks to the cat in the mirror and learns more about her and her sisters background. 

The book is very cute. I love reading about the cats and the author did a wonderful job making the cats seem like cats as well as characters in this wonderful book and world. The cat characters outside of the house, or alien cats, are very interesting and the plot kept me engaged and even made me giggle at times. The author also includes pictures throughout of her real life cats who are the stars of the book - they are adorable.

I can't wait to read book 3.
