1-3Ellie Ultra series.
Illustrated by
Jessika von Innerebner.
Formerly homeschooled third grader Ellie Ultra tries to balance her superhero identity with her desire to fit in at her new public school for regular citizens. Brown-skinned Ellie and her diverse group of classmates are welcome contributions to the genre of superhero chapter books, but the stilted writing lessens the series' appeal. Discussion guide and writing prompts are included. Glos. Review covers the following Ellie Ultra titles: An Extra-Ordinary Girl and Queen of the Spelling Bee.
