Squirrel Meets World by Shannon Hale, Dean Hale

5.0

Splendid. I loved the MC, she is not handsome & cool by any sterotypical measure enforced in school, but she doesn't internalize any doubt, shame & want to disappear or be someone else.
She is happy about a chubby cheeks, her longer front teeth, her strong wide thighs & she loves her tail. She is confident in herself, open to love & friendship, unable to be anything be good-hearted, kind & forgiving.
I loved how the book is integrated in the Marvel Universe, the world building is really well-done & the interactions she has with the other Marvel heroes are hilarious.

Special point for the two pages long list of squirrel names, a real thing of beauty.
