Johnson delivers another satisfying mystery, with diverse characters, authentic depictions of mental health, and friends holding one another accountable for their actions in loving, supportive ways. Highly recommended.
While not the first or best superhero-adjacent story, this accessible book will appeal to fans of superhero worlds, as well as over-scheduled and overworked teens preparing for college.
Even without the author’s note, this is a gentle but formidable addition to picture book collections everywhere; as nuanced as a poem, it spells out as much as it withholds and leaves readers with questions they’ll be inspired to try to answer themselves.
