I thought this was a pretty good introduction to Raven, a DC character I didn't know much about. She's in a car accident that takes her memory, but in a weird way. Math comes back, but not really information about her family and her past. I liked the color scheme in the book a lot. It definitely made me want to learn more about this character.
To compare it to the book about Mera that's also in this new line of DC books, this one cleared the low bar of actually being about the character in question, rather than a story about the title female character and a man.
Thank you NetGalley for the free ARC.

Another great Pandava adventure! I love this series.
Love the illustrations. Some of the riddles were harder than I thought. I could see this being used well in classrooms/classroom visits.
Not my favorite comic I've ever read, but honestly, I'm a white person. It's not written specifically for me. I'd be interested to see if the webcomic continued beyond this.
This is a great toddler storytime book.
This is so good. I love everything Knisley does, but this really illuminated for me how much we don't know about the process, and also how little doctors can listen to their patients. A lot to think about
Two teens are connected by a book about Marvels and Oddities, they just don't know it yet. One is a passionate voice for justice, the other is struggling to let his family know about his diagnosis with MS. Their story intersects in different ways in Doha. I liked a lot of things about this story. I liked the way Islam is integrated in both their stories and is part of their relationship. I liked seeing Doha as a location. I found it a very enjoyable read, although quiet.
I read it at storytime and it worked pretty well.
Gloria Takes a Stand: How Gloria Steinem Listened, Wrote, and Changed the World

Not my favorite. The illustrations aren't a style I respond to well, and the text wasn't my favorite either. I definitely think a biography of Steinem is needed, this just isn't the one for me.
I wanted to like this one more than I did. I agree with Forever Young Adult that the art is better than the text. There were multiple times that I felt like I was missing things, and I wanted a story just about her, not about Aquaman.
I do appreciate getting an ARC from both NetGalley and ALA.
