Gr 7 Up–Who is Ms. Marvel? Readers will be delighted by issues one through 11 in this collection that introduces Kamala Khan, a Muslim teenager from Jersey City whose powers include enlarging body parts and stretching others to be able to save people from the villainous Inventor. While Kamala begins to come into her powers, she's still not comfortable and knowledgeable enough to fight evil alone, so when her best friend, Nakia, is taken hostage, Kamala needs to fight back along with her trusty sidekick, Lockjaw, and a team of other superheroes. Witty writing and stunning art depict a teen heroine with a stellar outfit and caring parents. Kamala's life—family, homework, faith—becomes complicated as the result of her superhero activities. Keeping a curfew is tough when you're out fighting crime. Rich character development sets this work apart and offers a slice of seriousness even when Kamala's getting herself in trouble by trying to stop trouble. Kamala will remind readers of someone they know, even if they don't save lives on the side. VERDICT Equal parts adventure, heroism, and charisma, this is a must purchase for all libraries.–Alicia Abdul, Albany High School, NY
