Description

Superheroes from all over the globe are gathering at a top secret summit - Aurora hopes she'll find some friends who know all about the pressures of being the most in-demand new hero in town.

Praise for Lightning Girl: Superhero Squad: Volume 2

"These are fun, fast reads, with a bi-racial, big-haired heroine who is still very much a kid. ... What I liked best though was the matrilineal line of black superheroes, and the revelations about Aurora's grandmother in the second book! If you are looking for a tech savvy, lightning-wielding, smart as all get out granny, look no further. In short, these should go down very easily indeed for younger middle school readers."

-- Charlotte's Library

Surprises abound with a cast of intriguing characters... The length (320 pages) shouldn't be a problem given the fast pace and cute drawings thrown in every few pages. This should appeal to both girls and boys who enjoy a bit of magic in a fun premise.
