I wish I could rate this book higher. The artwork deserves 4 stars. But alas, the book's overwhelming "cuteness" did me in.
Virginia is a cute teenager, with a cute doggy, and a cute trouble-making gremlin named...wait for it...Oogleeoog! Great Gazoo! I just threw up on my keyboard a little.
Oogie has bestowed upon young Ginny the AWESOME ability to shoot electricity out of her fingertips. How cool is that? Unfortunately, GinGin doesn't live in one of those citi...more

Virginia is no ordinary girl--when she was born a gremlin gave her the power of electricity, so anything she touches gets a little shock. Sound like one of the X-Men? She would be, if she felt she couldn't fit into a normal life. But Virginia goes to school, has friends, cares for a dog and still enjoys pizza. Her only true problem (besides the obvious) is the

I checke out 3 volumes of this graphic novel series, but I just couldn't bother with the other two after reading this one. If it isn't bad enough to be so odd as to have the ability to manipulate electricity, Virginia also has a gremlin who haunts her, and it's made clear at the offset that he's responsible for her electrical quirk. There seems to be an erratic progression, and it's not chronilogical, AND you kind of stumble along to try to figure out relationships and dynamics. I suppose it'...more

Recommends it for:
those wanting to read a comic about an ordinary girl with superhero powers.
I hate that I don't like this more, but I really think that Brennan could have done a lot more with the idea of a girl with the power to shoot rods of electricity out of her fingertips. The gremlin/ghost is consistently annoying throughout the strips. He never lets up trying to tick Virginia (electric girl) off and to make things a mess for her. I would like to see his character take on more roles and grow more multi-dimensional in the future volumes (that I have yet to read). The dog, Blammo, i...more

This is a series of graphic short stories about a girl who happens to have the power to zap anything, her friend, an invisible gremlin whose entire job is to make chaos, usually for her, and her dog. The stories jump around in her timeline, but it's usually pretty clear about the timing. The stories are very short, sometimes just a couple pages, which can be too short to really draw me in. Overall, it was decent though, enough so that I went on and read the second volume.
Meh.
So far, really enjoyable.
Fast to read; no major thinking or drama. Teen angst. If Peter Parker had a gremlin over his shoulder who constantly distracted him - okay, actually, he did - an invisible gremlin who got him into trouble beyond his control, then, you'd have a similiar counterpart to Electric Girl.

This book was screwed up. Really--the copy I got from our library had the first volume completely repeated. So you read 40 pretty crappy pages only to find that the printer accidentally re-printed those 40 crappy pages again. Ugh.
The story is a mischievous gremlin who blesses/curses a baby girl with the power to channel electricity. Not a terrible premise, but a VERY boring, unengaging story.

Fun story of a girl who just happened to be born with the power to channel electricity through her body. Actually, it didn't JUST happen, a gremlin was behind it. Virginia and her dog, Blammo (along with the invisible gremlin Oogleeoog, that only she and Blammo can see) just try and blend in with everyone else - but somehow it always comes out wrong.
Virginia, the Electric Girl, can release electricity from her body at will. But she also has a friend, Oogleeoog, an invisible gremlin who is always making trouble. Great fun; recommended for grades 6-9 but can be enjoyed by anyone looking for a fast and funny read. This volume covers issues 1-4 of the Electric Girl comic book.
I'm reading this for my book discussion, and finding it cute. Very different from Chunky Rice, but still a fantasy book of sorts about a girl with a gremlin friend who conducts electricity. Some of the comics were a little uneven and the series jumped around a little. That said, I would like to take a look at volumes 2 and 3 now.
Adult/teen graphic novel. A series of short comics about the adventures and origins of Electric Girl, who, thanks to a mischievous gremlin, has the ability to conduct/create/influence electrical currents. Not really that clever or interesting; kind of boring and pointless.
I was hoping I would enjoy this graphic novel about a girl with electric powers, but I was mostly just irritated with that annoying gremlin. The only character that I actually liked was Blammo, the dog.
ok, doggies cute, a girl who's shocking and not a super hero is interesting, gremlins are cool, enjoy
not horrible, but doesn't quite live up to it's potential.
cute but sort of incoherent
