Featuring racially inclusive casts, these celebrations of preschool independence and playful creativity will delight the youngest superhero fans. "Be a Star" and "Sweet Dreams" checklists included. Review covers these titles: Be a Star, Wonder Woman! and Sweet Dreams, Supergirl.

Sixth grader Victoria Torres's aspirations and her reality don't usually align. In these volumes, she's cast as Friar Laurence, not Juliet, in Romeo and Juliet (Drama); and she refuses to engage in dirty politics during class elections and might have to accept a lesser office (President). Believable ethical situations and a thoughtful heroine add appeal to otherwise pat middle-school fare. Activities appended. Glos. Review covers the following Victoria Torres, Unfortunately Average titles: So Much Drama and Vicka for President.
