Light, comical reimagination with heart and delicious subterfuge
Barbara Gordon begins her career at Super Hero High as the part time tech representative. She works in the tech department and helps fix any glitches. After helping the school defeat Granny Goodness and the furies Amanda 'The Wall' Waller extends an invite for her alter ego, Batgirl, to attend Super Hero High.
This book is not only about the adventures of fitting into Super Hero High as the only student without super powers, but also about earning the acceptance from her dad, Commissioner Gordon, that she wants to live a life combatting criminals. You follow Batgirl through this book as she learns to balance her many classes and duties at Super Hero High, while also trying to convince her dad that she is more than capable of kicking the butts of criminals, and of course destroying the plans of criminals intent on destroying the world.
This is a cute book and fits with the entire DC Super Hero High world that DC has created. It is a book about friendship and learning to work as a team that also expands on how important technology can be. I think it is a very empowering book for young girls and boys! I will definitely have to read some of the other books from this series.

I listened to this audiobook with my 4 year old who loved it. I thought it was actually pretty good. It passes the Bechdel test, has a couple of chuckle-worthy spots, and isn't too saccharine. I especially like that it's about girls being smart and strong.

I feel like each Super Hero High novel Lisa Yee writes gets better than the last. For now, this one is my favorite, and yes, part of it is because Batgirl is my favorite super hero. Can't wait for her next one, Katana!
4.5 stars. Loved this entry in the series. I'm becoming a big Batgirl fan. I love that her intellect is her power!
If you have read the other Super Hero High books you will love this one also! It is a quick read. Great for young and old superhero fans!
I read this out loud to my daughter and it was a straight up poor read aloud experience. It’s just clunky, and I felt like it needed better editing. The story itself also left something to be desired. But my 9 year old enjoyed it, and I can see the way these books open doors to the wider world of super hero stories, so I appreciate that about it.
