Shadow of the Batgirl by Sarah Kuhn
4.0

Some superhero comics I've read that feature characters with impairments/disabilities simply give the character powers to get rid of their disabilties. That's not inherently a bad thing by any means, but I love it when they do things like this, where Cass' ways of communicating are limited in a traditional sense, but the way she's learned to communicate in spite of her limitations and work around them gives her advantages we could only dream of. This is a solid retelling of Cassandra Cain's journey of self discovery, recovery, and transformation into the new Batgirl and one of my favorite of DC's YA books.
