Squirrel Meets World by Shannon Hale, Dean Hale

4.0

I approached this book as if it were a written extension of the marvel cinematic universe. What I should have done was approach it as a written extension of the Superhero Squad Show.

This book is ridiculous in the way that only an unbeatable squirrel superhero can be. I mean, there’s an eternal monologue of Squirrel Girl listing off the names of almost 200 squirrels, and somehow I enjoyed it.

It’s a truly silly book, where squirrels and babies are all that needs saving, and yet the tension remains. Where a random girl can get the avengers to text with her to give her advice, and the true antagonist of the story is not the villain, but the fact that she has to cram her tail in her pants to hide it, leading to teasing about her large “badonk.”

So goofy, but I truly enjoyed it, time to start the sequel!
