Gr 9 Up—Teen superhero Dreadnought, otherwise known as Danny Tozer, is back in this sequel to Dreadnought. Once an accidental superhero, Danny is now settling into her role as protector of her city. But juggling life issues and her crime-fighting powers has been a challenge. Danny's parents are suing her and they still don't accept her transgender identity. Danny is also grappling with anger management issues that put her superhero position in jeopardy. When an evil menace threatens her, she and her fellow superheroes must join forces. Action-packed and at times intense, this book continues the stories of many of the characters from the previous volume, including Calamity Jane, the unlicensed vigilante superhero and Danny's love interest.
VERDICT Fans of the first installment won't be disappointed. A good choice for most YA superhero shelves.
