I really enjoyed this graphic novel as it tacled friendship, being yourself, and being good. With kids, there's always a pressure to feel included, which often overlaps with acting out, and I thought this really tackled this well. I also really enjoyed the support of the villain parents, which was refreshing as middle grade fiction tends to leave them out to focus on the kids or protrays them as bad parents. So even though they were evil, their love for Donut being theirself really stood out to me. The superheo and villains concepts were erally neat and the art style was awesome, reminscient of Gravity Falls and Steven Universe. There's room for spinoff material and I would absolutely read it.
A DELIGHT! What happens when a legacy villain decides that they want to be a hero? Donut is from a family of famous villains and in a world where everyone has a superpower that they gone for good or evil, she’s expected to follow family tradition. This book is wonderful and teaches youngsters about identity, self-discovery, and following your dreams. Loved it!

Super cute! You really can't go wrong with Sarah Graley.
Not my first Graley comic novel and I didn’t expect to like this as much as I did. The art is expressive and coloured appealingly. I enjoyed the little bit of creepy and the little bit of silly humour. But it was the middle grade story that surprised me with identity & friendship themes that did not get didactic or talk down to kids. A pleasant surprise.
Where was this book when I was a kid? Donut is born into a family of villains and is expected to follow in her family's footsteps. Her best friend, Ivy, is even a villain-in-training. However, Donut dreams of being a hero and will do anything it takes to be the good guy/gal. Through these pages, she overcomes obstacles and steadily tries to break the stigma everyone else has of her family by doing good deeds and being kind. I absolutely loved this graphic novel about going after your dreams, despite what your friends or family may say. Hoping for a sequel!
I had a lot of fun reading this! It had nice art
A hilarious little comic about friendship and change. I loved the over-the-top illustrations and colors. Good representation in the characters too.
