"If I hadn't been struck by lightning, I'd never have got my superpowers..." So begins this part novel, park comic book as it traces the origins of a new superhero for our times- super-powered-up, dynamo-charged Electrigirl... also known as Holly Sparkes in her day to day school life. Can our hero control her fizzing fingers enough to take on professor Macavity with her plans for world domination? Starts to plug a much needed gap by dishing up a female superhero. Great fun and written in a format which will appeal to different reading abilities. Age 8-12, Paperback 197pp
