This is not a solemn or gloomy book, though. There may be problems, but there's plenty of action and battles too, and also some really delightful parts too. These are often provided by the cats which, true to their natures, don't hold back on expressing their opinions, and there's one scene on a train which may have you viewing the humble (as if!) moggy in quite a different light, not to mention the hazards involved in using public transport. It's fun, it's lively, and it's a bit scary — in a word, enjoyable.
You could quite happily read this book without the ([[Troubletwisters by Garth Nix and Sean Williams|first in the series]]), but it's a good story. And for another young hero up against deadly evil that's out of this world, try [[Jake Ransom and the Skull King's Shadow by James Rollins]] and the second in the series, [[Jake Ransom and the Howling Sphinx by James Rollins|Jake Ransom and the Howling Sphinx]]. You might also enjoy [[Troubletwisters: The Monster by Garth Nix and Sean Williams]].
