From School Library Journal
K-Gr 3—William, the debonair feline supersleuth, returns in this action-packed sequel to William and the Missing Masterpiece. This time, the Golden Cuckoo Award statues have been stolen, and the lovely cat movie star Audrey Mieowski summons William to Hollywood to solve the crime. He prowls the Cuckoo Studios for clues, finding blue feathers, delicious cafeteria food, and a treasure-filled props department. But will he locate the missing Cuckoo statues before the awards show is set to begin? Of course he will—and in dramatic Tinseltown fashion! Hancocks's strength lies in her vibrant illustrations, peppered with old-time Hollywood details. The blues, oranges, pinks, and golds that dominate the palette add to this glamorous feel. When compared with these fine illustrations, however, the book's narrative seems clumsy, at times overexplaining the significance of the clues that William uncovers, and at other times rushing through important details. Jokes are one-note, with William and Audrey uttering cat-centric exclamations of "Oh fish sticks!" and "Something fishy is going on!" VERDICT While the illustrations are charming, Hancocks's narrative can be skipped. Look instead to Maira Kalman's superior "Max" series.—Laura Lintz, Henrietta Public Library, Rochester, NY
