Marvel: Avengers Assembly: Orientation by Preeti Chhibber
4.0
In Orientation (Marvel: Avengers Assembly #1) Ms. Marvel a.k.a. Kamala Khan is invited to enroll in the Avengers Institute. She’ll join fellow young heroes at the school to hone her skills in fighting villains, saving people, and learning to work as a team. Although Kamala would be thrilled to meet the superheroes she’s only written fan fiction about, she worries accepting will mean she isn’t already a good hero. Thankfully, she overcomes her reluctance because Avengers Institute might just be the place where she can meet new best friends and learn that being a good hero doesn’t mean you have to do everything on your own.
Although I’m much older than the target audience, picking up Orientation by Preeti Chhibber and James Lancett is just what I needed. I’ve been having terrible reader’s block this summer thanks to the pandemic and a whole host of other horrible things, and I’ve just been longing for something that’ll keep my brain engaged. Orientation’s mix of illustrations, notes, text messages, and fan fiction (written by Ms. Marvel, of course) swept me along and kept me thoroughly absorbed--which is more than I can say for anything else I’ve tried to read in the past month. Although I’m not the hugest Ms. Marvel fan (I mean, she’s fine, but her comics aren’t my jam), that didn’t deter my enjoyment of the book, especially since Squirrel Girl and Miles Morales turned up as her heroic teammates. Together the trio made a super cute and super successful team, and I would absolutely read more books and comics about their future team-ups.
I’m very pleased Orientation is only Marvel: Avengers Assembly #1 because I will definitely look forward to reading more books in this series. Regardless of your age, I recommend picking up Orientation. It’s sweet, funny, and generally super and will whisk you away into a world embiggening girls and teleporting dogs for a little while.
