xanthe 's review for:

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, Vol. 3: The Smartest There Is by Brandon Montclare, Natacha Bustos, Amy Reeder

4.0

---

After two installments of Lunella Lafayette being angry at the world, including sometimes her BFF Devil Dinosaur, in this third outing she finally seems to come to a place of acceptance of herself and her connection to other people (superheroes.) This book is simply jammed with cameos from other Marvel heroes, some of whom I recognized and some I did not. I didn't necessarily feel that they contributed a lot to the ongoing story about Lunella and her identity and isolation issues, but the end of this book was a surprise Thanksgiving story that warmed my heart even if I didn't see the fuzzy feelings coming. But who cares what I think? My kids love it and that's all that really matters.
