In this book Alexis goes to work for Darek Vermore, their newly discovered relative and tech savvy business man.



Only as Aurora and the Brightsparks try to find the Light Of The World, go on and escapade to the museum their dad works in and on a school trip to Paris, soon things turn sinister after their book about the precious gems falls into unknown to them, dangerous and familiar hands...



She also gets to meet the Queen and meets her old nemesis too and left on a cliffhanger I can't wait to read the next adventure!



The usual feisty and powerful group kept me reading on and on eager to see what things turned out like and I really enjoyed the few twists even if I did wonder if something with their new family member may not be as it seemed after all.

I enjoyed reading this book , it was filled with horror. But one thing that I didn’t like when Aurora Beam went to the Queen and spent most of the book telling a story about what happened over a period of time. Aurora was proud of her achievement of getting a medal from the Queen herself. Towards the end of the book , one of the Queen’s butlers revealed to be Mr Mercury also known as The Blackout Burglar and stole the Jewel of truth and Nobility which the Queen herself is the Guardian of the stone.This caused a lot of drama between the butlers and the Queen. If you like drama , horror stories this a perfect book for you , it’s funny and relatable sometimes some romance but very rare. I hope this review was helpful and I highly recommend this. If you consider buying the book , I hope you enjoy!

Not as good as the other 2 but still fun.y, adorable, and cute. The other 2 were much faster paced than this one and quite a bit shorter too. I think if this one was around 300 pgs like the others, it would have been better. Too much filler or Aurora repeating her story. I still enjoyed it immensely and laughed! The whole thing with the queen getting angry at the butler's because of who the villian disguised himself as had me rolling. She lost her mind and it was interesting to think about the actual queen of England doing that. Such a quick and easy read too.

Secret Supervillain vs Lightning Girl is a fun and adventurous read for children who love superheroes, mysteries, and action. It’s perfect for readers who enjoy a mix of humor and high stakes, and who don’t mind a few imaginative twists along the way.

The story follows Aurora Beam, also known as Lightning Girl, as she faces new challenges, dangerous villains, and the everyday struggles of growing up. The narrative moves quickly, filled with mystery, excitement, and suspense that will keep young readers turning the pages.

I especially loved the illustrations, which bring the characters and action to life. The book’s funny moments — including a dramatic ostrich scene — help balance the tension and make the story even more enjoyable.

Aurora’s conflict between wanting to help and being told to stay safe is something many kids can relate to. Themes of friendship, family, teamwork, and responsibility are woven throughout, giving the story heart as well as adventure.

As part of the Lightning Girl series, this book is even better when read after the first two. It’s a lively, empowering, and entertaining story that will inspire young readers to be brave, kind, and true to themselves.

I've not read any other books in this series, but this seemed like a weak, transitional part of the franchise, getting our super-heroed girl and friends from point A to point B. Certainly the drama here was a little weak, and what was with that age-long exposition where she couldn't be bothered to use her powers? Little is terribly wrong here, but it's not funny (that bloody emu is pathetic, if anything), and it really didn't feel that memorably different to countless other such series.

I read this book with my 7 year old. If it wasn't for me trying to model responsible behaviour and saying things like "no, we have to get up early for school tomorrow" I think we would have devoured this in one sitting. A fun read, and great example of how to include a diverse cast of characters.
