3.0

An awkward, excitable, and easily discouraged teenager gains superpowers on her 15th birthday and discovers that it’s tough balancing her crime fighting duties with her life. Overall, a fun read with a Hispanic superhero girl, but the pacing and concept didn’t capture me. It was hard to tell who the intended audience was since this reads like middle grade.

This book is an absolute delight. It's funny and sweet and just a really great twist on the whole superhero genre. 

Also, I loved that all of the women in this book were drawn so distinctly and so many of them had big noses! You don't see that a lot in animated/graphic novels.
