My Review~~~
I have not read the first two super hero books in this series. With that being said, I love this book!! I love that it is a positive outlook on girls and my daughter loves them. I love that girls can do great things when they put their mind to it as shown with Batgirl. She has no super power yet gets invited to attend Super Hero High. I love that in Batgirl that you can be special and that you can help when you have the courage to do so. Lisa Yee has done an amazing job on her twist of the super girls. I actually like this version compared to the ones I grew up on as a child. My daughter will definitely continue to read this series and I'm going to get the first two and read them together.
Barbara Gordon, the daughter of Commissioner Gordon, gets invited to Super Hero High. It takes her begging to get her father to let her go. With SuperGirl as her friend, you would think that Hero High would be a breeze, but no such luck for our heroine. What can we expect in School? She is going to be pressured from classmates, make mistakes, and with her friends overcome any obstacle. I really like her encounter with the Killer Moth!! "You're All washed up!" Barbara called. It is that upbeat tone and fun through every encounter and every experience. Read it for yourself. It is a fantastic read!
