Fine for what it is - a graphic novel reader for reluctant girl readers in grades 3-6 who are below grade level... Kind of powder puff girl-ish in this origination story telling how Halo Nightly inherited candy that tranforms her into a superhero from an aunt. I think there are girls in the target who will enjoy this series.
Flashy and fun, but pretty empty. Adequate, but I think it could have been done much better--both simpler and more substantial.
A fun intro to a new graphic novel series with a pink-haired girl who becomes a super hero when she eats magical candy that her mysterious Aunt Pandora gave her. The candy is labeled in Spanish words and helps her solve a mystery at school. The pictures are bright cartoons that students love. I am looking forward to the rest of the series.
