Trouble seems to follow aspiring detective Jasmine Callihan. Or maybe it's that Jas (who apparently never learned what Curiosity did to the Cat) follows trouble. All Jas wants to do today is hang out with her pals (and her superfantastico boyfriend, but, "shh," don't tell the Thwarter, aka her dad, who's trying to keep her under permanent lockdown). Simple. Straightforward. Trouble seems to follow aspiring detective Jasmine Callihan. Or maybe it's that Jas (who apparently never learned what Curiosity did to the Cat) follows trouble.

Then there's the jewelry store heist, the wrongly accused man, the clueless cops, the seven words that destroy her relationship, and . . . well, before she knows it, Jas has got a lot more than brunch on her plate. Now it's up to her and her mega-cool crew, Roxy, Polly, and Tom, to catch the thief. It won't be easy--not with Jas's cousin Alyson and her Evil Hench Twin Veronique tagging along for the ride and having to elude the Thwarter with his All-Seeing Eye. Oh, and her heart breaking into a million tiny pieces. Trying to right wrongs "and" have brunch with a hot guy shouldn't be this taxing, should it?

Jas is many things: a daughter, a detective, beautiful, in love with a rock star, a teenager. She stumbles across a theft at the local mall where she knows the cops have the wrong guy. She and her friends set out to clear the wrongfully accused shop owner, but in doing so, she puts her romantic relationship with a pop star in jeopardy. The problem with this kind of book is that you have to suspend your disbelief that a teenage girl can have so much going for her, but then this kind of book is fan Jas is many things: a daughter, a detective, beautiful, in love with a rock star, a teenager.

Cute. Not going to change your life.

This is based on the book Bad Kitty, by the same author. I never read it, but I believe it was one of the YALSA top ten teen books last year. Anyway, this was very cute. Jas is a girl next door type who just falls into mysteries to solve, this one being a jewelry store robbery. She has a crew of friends and a world-famous guy she is sort of seeing. Anyway, I really liked it, and it made me want to move Bad Kitty and its sequel Kitty Kitty further up on my reading list.

I was entertained by reading this, however, as detective skills go, this seemed like an amateur story. But still I had a few silly smiles while reading this. Because for one you just don't ask someone special to you what toothpaste they use after him telling you, he's got the hots for you. It was ridiculous. Hahaha and I think that's that.

If this is any indicator of the book, ugh, I don't think I'm gonna like it. The characters spoke in way too over-the-top-trying-to-be-trendy language and the illustrations were annoying as well. Jas, the main character had these huge eyes completely surrounded by outlandish eyelashes and a lion's mane of hair. None of the right notes hit with me with this one, sorry fans.

This manga was given to me to read by a friend, and I found it to be really cute. It took me a minute to get into it, but once I did I was curious. I liked the set-up of the main character's life, and the point of view for the story. It's not exactly a believable story, but it's a well-told, nicely drawn, interesting one.

Cute follow-up to the Jaffe's novels about Jas. I enjoyed the little sections with witty dialog between Jas and her friends. The story itself didn't really stand out in my mind, but fans of the novels "Bad Kitty" and "Kitty Kitty" will enjoy this. Cute follow-up to the Jaffe's novels about Jas.

had difficulty finishing this book, who ever did the manga adaption did not understand less is more when it comes to filling in speech bubbles, each one was almost like reading a paragraph. this made it difficult to enjoy the art when you had to stop every couple of seconds to read a paragraph
