Green Lantern is one of the few “main” superheroes I don’t know much about so Green Lantern Legacy was such a treat! Though I am not as familiar, I do have some sense of the Lantern universe. I appreciate how close this story stayed to the original universe. This might be my fav of the middle grade novels!

Lanterns aren’t born but chosen, so imagine Tai’s surprise when the ring chooses him. I love that Minh chose for Tai to inherit the ring from his grandmother, honoring the family legacy. It’s easy to read the cultural subtext here.

This book is full of complex characters and stories, from the larger universe (Sinestro and John Stewart) to the local story (ending vandalism). I highly recommend it for the everyone but especially for reluctant readers. With its bright art and charming characters, it’s sure to be a hit with the middle grade age group.
