Goodreads Synopsis:
Meg Cabot's first graphic novel!
Thirteen-year-old Dinah Lance knows exactly what she wants, who she is, and where she's going. First, she'll win the battle of the bands with her two best friends, then she'll join the Gotham City Junior Police Academy so she can solve crimes just like her dad. Who knows, her rock star group of friends may even save the world, but first they'll need to agree on a band name.
When a mysterious figure keeps getting in the way of Dinah's goals and threatens her friends and family, she'll learn more about herself, her mother's secret past, and navigating the various power chords of life.
Review:
If you are not familiar, Meg Cabot is best known for the Princess Diaries series, and they are hilarious. I highly recommend them. Additionally, I highly recommend Black Canary. The author does a wonderful job beginning the story of Black Canary and the character is real, and funny, and even though it is a superhero story, it is very relatable to the teen experience.
Dinah is a loud-mouthed teen who just wants to save the world, little does she know she is about to get her wish. This story shows the frustration of being a teen that is different but also ok with that. Dinah is a great main character and the story here is interesting and full of action. There was a bunch of girl empowerment and I loved that aspect and know that younger readers will as well. For being the Black Canary, the illustration was surprising vibrant and bright in color and imagery, but it all fit well with the story. This such a wonderful read all around.
