Supergirl at Super Hero High (DC Super Hero Girls)

I am really enjoying the writing in this series. As a former librarian, I was often asked by girls for books about adventure that were girl centered--specifically, they wanted to 'still be a girl but be able to do stuff'. Not so easy a task. Sure, there are some but not any where near the amount of adventure stories offered to boys or tomboys. Probably why Nancy Drew, American Girl, Babysitters Club, etc., were so popular. Nice to see a new series filling that bracket. I also am a firm believer that books for children shouldn't be stuffed full of social/political agendas or pushing subjects or actions that are more appropriate for older readers or future parental discussions. I think girls and boys need to be allowed to just be girls and boys--that they need to be focused on learning who they are, how to be a good person, how to make wise choices for their lives, and how to interact positively with others--without adults trying to force them to think or do or be whatever is the current world fad. And this book series is letting them do that. While this series is set at 'Super Hero High', the subject matter is always safe for the grade school readers it is really aimed at. No bad language, no sexual situations, no graphic content. Very positive and self-building, it lets the characters learn and grow through their experiences and interactions with others--following their determination to become worthy of the title of 'superhero'. Sometimes they make mistakes, but they try hard to make it right and do better. In this book, Supergirl is the focus of the story--and she must learn how to overcome loneliness and a lack of self confidence in order to become the person she wants to be. As the 'new kid' on the planet, she has to make new friends, start her life over after losing her parents and home, and learn to know when to trust others and when to trust herself. She's not always successful, but though she gets discouraged and fears she has failed, she finds within herself the will to keep trying anyway--because she knows she has to do the right thing, no matter what. This is a truly positive series that teaches girls how to learn to become their best selves--and how to help the world around them become a better place through their compassion, courage, and hard work. I completely recommend it as a keeper series.

I should start by saying that I am 28 years old and I bought this book for myself. I bought and read Wonder Woman at Super Hero High because Wonder Woman is one of my favorite characters. I really enjoyed that book so I decided to purchase Supergirl as well. Supergirl at Super Hero High is even better than Wonder Woman at Super Hero High. Supergirl ends up on Earth after Krypton is destroyed and she begins attending Super Hero High. The problem? Supergirl is NOT a good student. She befriends Barbara Gordon, the IT girl who wishes she could attend Super Hero High too. The friendship between Supergirl and Barbara is very interesting and each struggles with relatable issues. There is a mystery to solve, however, if you've seen the first DC Superhero Girls TV special, then you already know how this one will end. I still would highly recommend this book for any young superhero fan (or older superhero fans like me who prefer something light hearted) because the message is so positive and relatable. I look forward to future books in the series and hope there will be ones focused on some of the lesser known DC Superhero Girls.

This was a great book and my daughter just loved it!! She finished it in 2 days! It is a refreshing twist on the female super heroes of DC Comics. It tells the tale of Super Girl in high school

Love everything from this line! We are about 3/4 of the way through this book and although it's the same story as a movie they released, it still keeps my daughter's attention because there's so much more detail to the original story.

The premise of a bunch of future super-heroes attending a high school just for people like them is a different take on classic characters, but within its own context, it works well. Familiar names are utilized, sometimes in surprising ways. There are animated cartoons online, graphic novels, and prose novels, without illustrations for this series. This belongs to the third category. It might have been improved by an occasional illustration, but otherwise is good reading if you are a fan of the character and this concept. If nothing else, this material is child-friendly, which, alas, the CW TV version of Supergirl is not.

Great book to read about Supergirl's arrival to Superhero High. If you're looking for a good book, then buy this one. It arrived right on time, thank you.

This book arrived in great condition in a reasonable amount of time. It was shrink wrapped in plastic.

Neice asked for this as a Christmas gift. I haven't read it, but was a nice quality hardback book. She is pleased, and so am I!

Had issue with online payment. Also COD amount was not printed on Cover print. Hence the packet was supposed to be opened for invoice value , invoice was inside the tamper proof bag. Not a good experience.

Super heroes who are girls but not girly and for once are the main characters of a series of DC superheroes my 10 year old loves and me too

My daughter loves these books anx I enjoy reading them to her.

Good read even for an older child improving reading skills. Held the interest of my teen reader.
