This was a super cute and fun read! Meg Cabot never disappoints and I enjoyed this girl power book, especially because I usually don’t read super hero stuff, so it was a fun change of pace.

This was probably better for younger audiences then myself. It's got some nice art, fun characters and a slightly boring plot. The idea that being a meta is something that can just happen to someone and it not take over their entire life is actually fascinating, and I would love to see that more.

This was pretty awesome. Even I, who only have like no knowledge on this character (other than recognising her name), enjoyed this story immensely. I loved seeing how Dinah found out about her powers and how people tried to help her out. I do feel it was a bit odd that she started blocking her friends from telling what is going on. Come on, they know about your power, they know a lot of things, no need to cut them off. Yes, it is dangerous, but at least they know what is going on. Now someone can still take advantage of them.
Who Bonfire was.. oh man that was a nice reveal. Maybe I would have known if I had known these characters more, but now I was surprised (and very delighted, this explained so so much!).
Art was quite pretty.

Quick, ready read. I love the Black Canary and enjoyed this middle school, teenage version of her. The story wasn't as enticing as I thought it would be, but I should've expected that being a middle grade graphic novel.
