Story: I went in blind and the heavy themes kind of hit me by suprise at first, that said it is handled well and I like how the story never forgets that they are just kids/teens.
Her moms are great (also how cool is it that at this age people in media are allowed to be queer casually? I actaully read "moms" and first through I was misreading something)) and I love the relationship between the kids.
Also reading the words "Stop Murdering Black Trans Woman" and "Trans Lives Matter" was great.

Not only is the story powerful, but the art is so vibrant and wonderful. It's just a lot different than a lot of the graphic novels I've been reading lately. Juts an overall delight.

Nubia has grown up moving from town to town to avoid other's noticing her superpowers. As a Black girl, her and her moms know she would not be treated the way a superhero should be treated if she was revealed. When Nubia accidentally exposes herself once again, she has to make a choice--hide her true identity and leave her life here, or become the superhero she was always meant to be!
Meanwhile, her best friend is organizing a peaceful protest against the murder of a young Black person by police, and Nubia has to make a big choice...
This book was amazing from start to finish. It immediately gripped me with the fast-paced storyline, funny and real dialogue, and gorgeous illustrations. The messages throughout this book are completely necessary to today's world (and yesterday's) and it teaches a lot of important things. I'm so glad this book was made.
Please be careful before picking up this book, and read the content warnings, as it deals with very heavy and traumatic topics.
