Supergirl

That's really super Supergirl
How you saved yourself in seconds flat
And your friends are going to say
That's really super Supergirl
How you're changing all the world's weather
--Supergirl by XTC

Here are three great graphic novel series that feature girl superheroes:

Amelia Rules by Jimmy Gownley

Gownley, Jimmy. Amelia Rules!: Vol. 3. Harrisburg, PA: Renaissance Press, 2006. Print.

I made the mistake of giving an Amelia Rules book to my niece at the beginning of our visit. I didn't get to chat with her because she couldn't stop reading!

Babymouse by Jennifer L. Holm and Matt Holm

Holm, Jennifer L, and Matthew Holm. Babymouse: Our Hero. New York: Random House, 2005. Print.

This funny series about a spunky kitty was written by Newbery honor winner, Jennifer L. Holm, and illustrated by her brother Matt!

Fashion Kitty by Charise Mericle Harper
