Genre: Comics & Graphic Novels, Superheroes  Rating: 4/5

Opinion:

This is Kara and her life with her friends. Focused on friendship and family from start to end. It's fun, emotional and interesting to keep turning the page. Loved my time with this story.

Everything throughout the story -- the friendship, her family, the villains -- feel realistic enough. You are dealing with her new world as she tries to get her footing. This will be posted on my kidlit blog, too, but I wanted to write about it here.

This comic would be fantastic for kids from 3rd grade and up. But the story line can hold an adults interest. I love when a story can do that.

Also: The teenagers that are the focus of this feel like today's youth. They're not repurposed teenagers from the sixties. Often characters in kid literature feel like the writer doesn't understand or never met a kid before.

If you're looking for something modern to read for your kids or to read together this definitely works.

Recommend: 

Yes!
