Gumazing Gum Girl! series.
With Luke Reynolds. Gum Girl is Gabby Gomez's superhero alter-ego. Her dentist father doesn't approve of gum-chewing, so she has to keep her identity secret while dealing with a bully at school, defeating a villain, and being a good sister. Assisted by black, white, pink, and purple comic book–style illustrations, this second installment maintains the series' over-the-top tone. The fast-paced text includes scattered Spanish phrases.
