Ms. Marvel's Fists of Fury by Calliope Glass - ADVISABLE

Glass, Calliope  Ms. Marvel’s Fists of Fury, 120 pgs.  CHAPTER BOOK  Marvel, 2017.  Content: Language: G; Violence: PG; Mature Content: G.  

Kamala is having a hard time taking care of her daily life of homework, friends and family and also being the super hero, Ms. Marvel.  When Thor shows up and asks to talk to her because there is a problem with a super villain in her neighborhood, Kamala can’t help but get involved.  As Thor and Kamala work together, she realizes that it’s sometimes easier to ask for help in all areas of her life.  

I love Ms. Marvel!  The comics are great and Kamala is a fun character.  The comics have better artwork than this chapter book, but I still enjoyed the story.  I feel that as the first chapter book this could have had more background info on Kamala and her situation, because it feels like you are dropped in the middle of a story.  Overall though, this is a great strong female hero and a fun read for 2nd grade and above.
