Mina is just an average middle schooler. But when she starts attending a new boarding school that her parents also attended, she and three other girls learn that they have generational powers that turn them into wildcats. Navigating this new reality, the girls will have to use their powers to figure out the mysterious temple that sits under the school's museum, and defeat the evil forces who want to unleash chaos on the school...and the world.

As Mina struggles to navigate the cliques of her new school she is taken under the wing of Miss Benitez, a mysterious but kind history teacher. She tells Mina and three other girls--Lin, Ana, and Shani--that their families gifted the priceless objects housed in the school's museum. Ms. Benitez thinks it's important that the girls understand their ancestry.

It turns out that Ms. Benitez is the curator of the museum, and it sits on top of a mysterious temple, the ancient meeting place of a dangerous group called the Brotherhood of Chaos. When one of the priceless objects is shattered, the girls find out exactly why their heritage is so important: it gives them the power to turn into wildcats. Now, in the form of a jaguar, a tiger, a puma, and a lion, they must work together to fight the chaos spirits that were unleashed when the object was shattered...and uncover the terrifying plans of those who want to resurrect the Brotherhood of Chaos.

Wildcats is full of adventure, heart, and friendship. This full-color graphic novel is ripe for fans of mythology, superheroes, and, of course, cats!
