The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl: Squirrel Meets World

(4) 4-6 Fourteen-year-old Doreen Green, half-girl, half-squirrel, uses her squirrel powers to save her New Jersey neighborhood from her arch-nemesis in this origin story to the comic books. The focus shifts among Doreen, squirrel Tippy-Toe, and Doreen's deaf bestie Ana Sofía; throughout, Doreen adds first-person footnotes that are humorous but also interrupt the story's flow. Comical text-message interludes with other Marvel characters are a welcome bonus.
