I also fail to understand even with the suspension of disbelief required of most fantasy how one could realistically a) take a cat on a filming tour in which you travel to another country (or in this case, another continent) each week with a cat who has hardly any role in the story, and I don’t understand why Grim keeps being brought up if he has nothing to do I love cats, but give kitty something to do or a reason to be dragged literally all over the world! b) have parents who fail to realize that their 12 year old has supernatural abilities when you yourself are supposed experts in just that (and yes, I’m sure it’s an intentional irony, and one with much precedent in adolescent featuring stories, not limited to but including Danny Phantom) and c) have a main character who learns information about her world and how and why certain things are as they might be for her, but not have any sort of character growth or shifting. That said, there is virtually no character development for anyone, and that includes Cassidy. I should say that I do in fact realize this is middle grade fiction, and thus it is somewhat less complex in certain things. Bridge of Souls is on the one hand, better than its immediate predecessor, but on the other, still has some of the same problems. Given the premise of the Cassidy Blake series (girl with ghost hunter parents can see and gets into trouble with real ghosts), it should be no surprise that the next city to be the setting of an adventure would be New Orleans, LA, USA.
