Review

This is a year book for the students at Super Hero High School. Lots of the heroes are girls and there might be new ones you haven't heard of, like Bumblebee, Big Barda and Ravager. Each superhero student, boy or girl, gets a full page spread (some get 2) with drawings of them as well as a list describing them that includes the place they come from, the superpower they are known for, their favorite food and their fashion sense. The year book has features throughout that you might find in a typical year book like a club section, superlatives page and faculty page. Plus it includes lots of other pages that are unique to Super Hero High. While it is great to have more women superheroes, the focus in this book seemed to be more on their sense of fashion. There are several references to being queen like and beautiful which is not a bad thing, but it's too bad that that seemed to be the predominate message throughout the yearbook, but, then again, it is a yearbook so those thoughts might be just right. This book should appeal to a lot of elementary school readers looking for books on female superheroes.

Overall Book Score: good
