From the back of the book- Can Lois Lane scrap her entire life plan for an unpredictable summer of ride-or-die friendships, swoony romance, and writing her truth? Ambitious small-town girl Lois Lane tackles a summer in National City with gusto, but a cavalcade of setbacks-including an annoying frenemy roommate, a beyond-tedious internship at a suddenly corporatized website, and a boss who demotes her to coffee-fetching minion-threatens to derail her extremely detailed life plan. And, you know, her entire future! When Lois uncovers a potentially explosive scandal, she must stand up and speak out for the future she deserves without destroying everything she’s worked so hard to create. From beloved author Sarah Kuhn (Shadow of the Batgirl, Heroine Complex), with lively art by Arielle Jovellanos, comes a charming YA story about the strength it takes to embrace the messiness of life.
Review- A fun new origin story for Lois Lane. Lois has her whole life planned out, including future Pulitzers. But when local paper she was interning for is bought out, everything changes. She has to learn to make herself be heard and try to help others speak up too. Kuhn nails Lois, a gutsy, proud leader who takes no crap from anyone. The art is fun and joyful, tapping into the fun of summer and friends and big dreams. The road blocks to Lois' success are not a bad boss but herself and she overcomes them. I would recommend this graphic novel, especially if you are a Lois Lane fan, like me.
I give this graphic novel a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this graphic novel from my local library.
