Squirrel Girl Book Review
I'm reviewing the book by Shannon Hale, just BTW.
I recently read Squirrel Girl for the second time. It's not the best of Marvel's work, but it is a fun teen level story. Being a Marvel Fangirl myself I read Marvel fiction, as well as binge watching the shows and movies.
Squirrel Girl is mostly in the POV of Doreen Green, a 14-year-old girl who was born with a squirrel tail, the logistics of which are a bit iffy. The book never explains exactly how or why Doreen was born with a tail and squirrel powers.
The story itself is written pretty well. The plot is fun and kinda crazy, involving lots of robots, and a zucchini with a speaker (you have to read the book to understand that). It's a pretty good book, but more for younger readers.
I personally found Doreen's commentary at the bottom of the pages to be really funny. Every time she mentioned superheroes or or super villains, it's capitalized for some reason, probably because it's a Marvel book.
Yeah, all in all, a good middle grade book from Marvel, perhaps a bit confusing, but Shannon Hale did a pretty good job bringing Squirrel Girl to life.
