The second book in the newer DC Comics chapter book series (DC Icons), the first being Wonder Woman: Warbringer, by Leigh Bardugo, which is awesome!! Batman was equally as good as Wonder Woman, almost, but close enough to say YES you should read this! This new series has one chapter book to explain how different superheroes in the DC Comics world came to be the superhero they are, and each book is being written by a different YA author. The third book in the series is Catwoman: Soulstealer, and the newest, coming out this year, is Superman: Dawnbreaker. Batman explains how Bruce Wayne becomes Batman, facing a group looking to steal all the wealth from Gotham City and using it for their own equalizing purposes. Bruce ends up on the wrong side of the law and his community service introduces him to a young woman who is in prison for being part of this nefarious group. There is an attraction, of course, so there is romance as well as action, adventure, cool tech gadgets, and more! Marie Lu, perhaps my favorite sci-fi/fantasy writer right now, does a very good job with this story. If comic book eors, or any element mentioned above, interests you, try this one - it won't disappoint! Get past the slow-ish start, and you'll be rewarded. 4.5 paws!
All things reading by a middle school librarian (and a very smart four-legged fur friend!) and hundreds of awesome students!
