Synopsis

The year is 2421. Awkward and shy, Pepper buries herself in the universe of the classic fictional superhero Supernova to avoid dealing with the perils of the 9th grade. But then fate intervenes when Pepper stumbles into a volatile science experiment run by a sinister substitute teacher named Doctor Killian.

Review

Thank you to First Second and Macmillan Children's Publishing for gifting me a copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Pepper Page is a quiet girl who only wants to be left alone to read her comics. When she finds herself caught up in an evil science experiment conducted by Dr. Killian her life changes in a way she never dreamed of. Suddenly Pepper is face to face with cosmic beings that tell her she is actually her favorite superhero Supernova. Pepper is pretty sure they're wrong but only time will tell.

This was such a fun story. Pepper Page is a truly lovable character. She is fun, quirky, a little nerdy and absolutely charming. I adore her. I think she's a great character that will be loved by comics lovers everywhere. Her story focuses on self acceptance and friendship. It's absolutely charming and is sure to win the hearts of her audience. 

The artwork is fantastic! It's bright, colorful and crisp. The story really comes to life through the detailed pictures. The Story and the artwork fit so well together, they just merge into one beautiful masterpiece.

My daughter and I read this book together as a bedtime story and we had the greatest time. Granted, my daughter is technically too young for this book but she seemed to really enjoy it and you're never to young for superheroes right?
