If this book can not put a smile on your face then not much can. Doreen is just 14 and new to New Jersey. Making friends is not always the easiest, but it’s even harder to keep your tail and super strength to yourself. Plus, with some random super villain that keeps threatening babies on the loose, someone has to play the hero. But can Doreen be Squirrel Girl, or is she just an everyday girl with some quirks. This book was fun. Between messaging superheros after having a squirrel friend steal their phone numbers, to the crafty punch lines, and the inner thoughts that appear as footnotes, this is a romp for all ages, not just kids. And, I don’t want my Marvel card taken away, but I prefer the Hale’s version to that of the graphic novel. Graphic novel Squirrel Girl is way to annoying, where Hale Squirrel girl is endearing. Sequel please, and soon.

#MountTBR This book may have been published in 2017, but I have had the galley since may 2016 when I picked it up at BEA Chicago. So I am counting it!
