Squirrel Meets World by Shannon Hale, Dean Hale

5.0

Honestly? Best book I've read all year. Perfect intro to the character if you don't know her, perfect prequel to the comics if you do. I love Doreen so much and everything I love about her came across perfectly. Sometimes comics to prose doesn't always mesh perfectly but this - this did. This was perfect. This encapsulated everything that makes Doreen who she is while still letting her breathe and feel like she was her own character. Even if you never read a Squirrel Girl comic (though you should, they're great and you're missing out) you should read this book. The prose is fantastic. The chapters from different characters' POVs were distinct and flowed perfectly. The texts between characters were hilarious and perfect. So many great cameos, so many great jokes. While still being a sweet "learning to come into your own" story. This book is nuts and it kicks butts. It has all the powers of a squirrel, and all the powers of a girl.
