Volume 4 comprised of about 5-6 short stories , mini-adventures , if you will and for most part I enjoyed them .
The stories gave a good feel of how Barbara and Batgirl were handled by Hope larson , a fun , sunlit outlook in the bat family , always witty, looking for solutions to not only problems a crime fighter faces but also problems a girl faces .
The Penguin story and the story of Batgirl attending a funeral were the best of the lot but most other stories were also fun and gave a Cartoon show episode vibe .
There is a dissapointment that this volume wasn't made up with a long story arc , but overall I definitely enjoyed this

Larson's winning streak on Batgirl concludes with a more internal, darker insight into Barbara Gordon but still maintains its fun, flamboyant tone.

As much as I love Batgirl, I have not been a fan of this run. The stories seem jumbled and not remotely connected. You have to go into this as if you are reading a number of completely standalone tales (or maybe a couple of part one and part two stories), otherwise, it will be confusing and not enjoyable. There are a few holiday-themed tales and an interesting one where Batgirl works with her father - but overall there weren't any that were particularly memorable.
