I love squirrels and I love girls! I love relentless optimism and refreshing diversity! I love wholesome, healthy family and friend dynamics! I love how cute and silly this story is. It's totally nuts. I just still don’t love superhero stories. I don't love the sci-fi elements, Marvel references, robots, and fight scenes, even with the delightful squirrel imagery. But I did like the Dr. Horrible-esque world and of course I liked watching SG be brave and squirrelly and figure herself out. So, you know. Pretty good overall

Give this to every 14 year old who needs a laugh. I mean that in the best possible way. Shannon and Dean Hale have a way with words and they really get this character. Don't let anyone tell you that Squirrel Girl is "Girl Stuff." This book is fun.

Did I mention how much I love squirrel girl? I related to her on a personal level as a younger child.

Cute, fun story and relatable characters. The danger/violence level doesn't quite sit well with the interest level for me, but that may be because I'm thinking my daughter would pick this up and it would be too much for her. But it's also a sizable novel, with 14-year-old protagonists, so it's not aimed at my six-year-old. But it seems too cutesy for middle school.

I love Shannon Hale, so I was excited for my first introduction to Squirrel Girl. I was NOT disappointed! It was an absolutely adorable book. I had a rough day, but it was impossible to be sad while listening to Doreen Green’s optimistic take on life, friends, and squirrels. I also appreciated that she learned sign for her hard of hearing best friend- representation is so important. I’ve already downloaded the next audiobook in the series!

NUTS AND DEATH!
OK, started off a bit slow for me. Doreen's very high-energy, always positive attitude is a little much but it got really good about a third of the way in and then I couldn't put it down.
Also, a full novel in Tippy-Toe's voice and world please!

This is fun! I hadn't read any of Marvel's comic books about Squirrel Girl but this is a fun introduction to her character. Kids who read the comic will enjoy the book and vice versa. The Hales have written a clever, nutty novel about Doreen Green and her clever, nutty alternate life as super-hero Squirrel Girl. As a freshman in high school in a new town in a new state (New Jersey), Doreen is feeling lonely and not at all looking forward to the first day of school. Soon enough, Doreen has made a, somewhat reluctant, best human friend and, more easily, a best squirrel friend. New best human friend, Ana-Sophia, happens to be deaf so kids will learn how to communicate with hearing-impaired friends. Squirrel Girl, Ana-Sophia and Tippy-Toe lead the unbeatable team against villain Micro-Manager. The puns and the action never stop.
