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.

Umm this was adorable. It needs to be on more people's radars. It's on hoopla digital if your library has hoopla! I need a sequel with her little sister!

Lupe is a wonderfully level-headed and grounded heroine. She has a family that loves and supports her, and you can tell.

Having Lupe's younger sister be the person to sexualize her for a couple jokes certainly was a choice.

Also is it just me or did Lupe set her own house on fire?

Some of the font was very small and hard to read. I read it physically and I believe it was originally designed as a digital release so if you read it that way it may not be an issue.
