This one started out slow but once a character named Melvira arrived the story took a fun, exciting turn. I loved the dynamic between Missy and Melvira. I think kids will find this wonderfully dumb. In this world, there are all types of people, animals, and even sentient popsicles. It’s rare I see a kids’ book that acknowledges heroes aren’t perfect, and that, sometimes, being mean and excluding people can (inadvertently) create villains. Subtracting a few points for the gross-out humor though. I guess vomiting appeals to kids. Anyway, in two words: chaotic fun!
Ending spoiler: <spoiler > I haven’t seen a kid anti-hero since El Tigre :D
