I literally loved the Catwings books to death when I was growing up, out of the three books I had only one is still alive. They're fun, whimsical adventures for young kids just learning to read. My future children will definitely have a set of these books on their shelves!
Jane is my favorite Catwing. She's beautiful, daring, fragile, incredibly strong, young, tragic, sweet, and I love her. This is the story of Jane on her own. Read it. It's good.
