I gave A REAL STRETCH: AN ELASTIGIRL PREQEL NOVEL five stars for the sheer fun I had reading this book. Elastigirl is one of my favorite Disney Pixar characters and I think it's "incredible" that we got her back story. The story doesn't take us back to Elastigirl as a kid, although we do learn she was recruited to the National Supers Agency (NSA) as a teen by none other than Mr. Dickers, who has a role in this story as well. This prequel begins with Elastigirl already established as a super. She's respected by the NSA, the other supers, and by the citizens. She works alone, as she prefers, but is friends with other supers including the charming Frozone.
A REAL STRETCH does a solid job of grounding the reader in this world inhabited and protected by supers. Elastigirl/Helen is a intelligent, compassionate, and very good at her job. She's strong and loyal and has a solid moral compass. I thoroughly enjoyed her early impressions of Mr. Incredible and their first meetings when in their secret identities -- I love that they didn't recognize each other and how much fun they had together.
Solid messages about teamwork, being humble yet remaining proud of your abilities, and how good choices can triumph over bad ones. And it's got plenty of action sequences and moments where I laughed. A fun read!

This was a very nice read, and I loved seeing how Helen and Bob had met before falling in love.
But I would have liked to learn more about Helen and how she got to be elestigirl which is unfortunately not the case.
But it was overall a very good and short read.
