I think this book holds the record for longest time between kickstarter and project in hand of any I have ever backed. Still, it made good on its promise and is a great all ages piece.
Molly Danger starts out as a kid superhero homage, but it quickly develops into something more. Molly's backstory and the realities of the setting are revealed slowly, and it quickly becomes obvious that there is more to the tale than Powerpuff Girls. The language is challenging for kids, but in a way that hopefully will give them exposure to large words without them losing out on any of the content. Jamal Igle's illustration are classic and his sense of humor will read equally well to kids and adults.
I plan on putting this one in my classroom, and I'm glad I'll be able to do so. Not only do we have a female superhero but also an unconventional family to which I think my students can easily relate. It's a perfect option for people who love superheroes but are done with gritty reboots.
