This tween-focused tale is best suited to die-hard DC completists who won’t mind seeing a classic character stripped of his dark backstory and complex motivations.
A winsome mix of adventure, humor, and realistic middle grade problems, ideal for readers seeking the whimsy of Dav Pilkey’s “Dog Man” tempered with the reassuring tone of Raina Telgemeier’s work.
An endearing exploration of emotional and physical reactions to embarrassment that may fail to fully address the experiences and concerns of young readers.
