Ms. Marvel: Remnants of the Past - by Saadia Faruqi (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Ms. Marvel trips into a mystery that brings her from Jersey City to Lahore, Pakistan and back again, all on a chase for a magical artifact.

How is it possible to be a perfect daughter, a passing student, and Jersey City's best Super Hero? Kamala Kahn is still trying to figure that out.

From Jersey City to Lahore, Pakistan, Kamala Kahn is doing her best. She just has to make her parents proud, keep a homicidal vigilante at bay, decide what to do about a slight crush on her best friend, and pass physics. No problem, right?

When a local museum is robbed of Pakistani-Mughal artifacts, Kamala researches their origins--which are the same as her origins--and finds that the artifact's rightful place may be more complicated than she thought. The mystery leads her to Lahore, Pakistan where she'll have to dive deep into her culture and what it means to be Muslim, Pakistani-American, and a Super Hero.
