Content: G. EARLY READER
DC SuperHero Girls: Wonder Woman, Batgirl, and Supergirl are
learning how to be superheroes at Super Hero High. Each has her own special skills. Wonder Woman has her lasso of truth and is a
natural leader. Supergirl has x-ray and
heat vision. Batgirl is a tech genius
and a great acrobat. When bad guys show
up they team up to defeat them. They
take normal classes too, like history, art, and science. But they take special classes like
weaponomics, super suit design, and how to drive all different types of vehicles. And they always work together to save the day.
The publisher, Random House, recommends this book as a Step
Into Reading level 3 (Grades 1-3). I
loved the strong FEMALE super heroes that were tough, smart, and tech
savvy. The superhero girls’ suits were
all fighting appropriate—and not sexualized.
The storyline was slightly lacking—it was more just an overview of who
the superhero girls were and what they do.
Still, this Early Reader book is an important addition to the crowded
super hero section.
EL-ESSENTIAL.
