Cape by Kate Hannigan
5.0
When I learned that Kate Hannigan is publishing a WWII superhero/spy series, I was 300% here for it, and the first novel didn't disappoint. This combo of prose and graphic novel scenes was so entertaining, well-written, and fast-paced that I couldn't put it down, and that's saying a lot from me, because I pride myself in my ability to stop reading and go to bed.
This book showcases diverse characters of different strengths, deals with a variety of social issues from the WWII American home front era, and has resources in the back that show how historically based many elements of this novel are. Although this story is set in an alternate universe with superheroes, it is very attentive to the details, emotions, and events of history. I loved this, recommend it to boys and girls of all ages, and will eagerly await the following books.
