Squirrel Meets World by Shannon Hale, Dean Hale

4.0

This super fun prequel to the Squirrel Girl comics explains the origins of this squirrel-tastic super hero. Doreen Green was born with a squirrel tail as well as the proportional strength, speed, and leaping abilities of a squirrel. As she tries to make friends in her new town, 14 year old Doreen discovers that someone has been trapping the squirrels in the park and tormenting the wild dogs. As she and her new friend Ana Sofia begin investigating this along with a rash of thefts and vandalism, they find evidence that a super villain might be lurking in their town. Is Squirrel Girl ready to come out to the world? Does she have a choice? This clever adventure is a must read for Squirrel Girl fans, and anyone who likes a good superhero story. Recommended for grades 4 & up.
