This is for the super hero and haters alike! Even though Nubia is a super, she’s also just a teenage girl and in that is she incredibly relatable.

Lesbophobia: I don't know if it actually matters, but in case it does, Nubia is not a lesbian, she just gets bigotry based on assumptions. That's sort of the point of the book.
