(4) YA Lois (Fallout) has her dream gig on the all-teen Scoop newspaper, great BFFs, and she's finally going to meet her online crush (alias "SmallvilleGuy") when he visits Metropolis. But mutant teens and mad scientists sidetrack her fairy tale. Bond's Lois Lane is lovable and complex, but readers may struggle with the lack of plot progression; not much happens in this romance-focused installment.

(4) 4-6 Supernormal Sleuthing Service series. Illustrated by Glenn Thomas. When Stephen's father takes over his grandmother's job as chef at a NYC hotel serving an elite clientele of various "supernormals," Stephen learns he is part-fae. Some of his snooty mythical neighbors aren't exactly thrilled with him, and Stephen must clear his name when an important magical artifact goes missing. This entertaining series-starter's overly familiar premise and themes are nevertheless successfully executed.
