Squirrel Meets World by Shannon Hale, Dean Hale

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.
