About the Book
"Kamala Khan (a.k.a Ms. Marvel) is stretched too thin-literally. She's having a hard time balancing schoolwork with being a good friend, being there for her family, becoming the best fanfic writer this side of the Hudson River... and, you know, becoming a Super Hero. She's tired and just barely keeping control, BUT she's handling it. Totally."--Provided by publisher.Book Synopsis
An original middle-grade graphic novel starring breakout character (and New Jersey's own) Ms. Marvel!Kamala Khan (a.k.a Ms. Marvel) is stretched too thin-literally. She's having a hard time balancing schoolwork with being a good friend, being there for her family, becoming the best fanfic writer this side of the Hudson River ... and, you know, becoming a Super Hero. She's tired and just barely keeping control, BUT she's handling it. Totally.
But when a mysterious robot tries to infiltrate Avengers Tower, it'll be up to Ms. Marvel to (again, literally) pull herself together, learn to ask for help, and fix the mess she's made before anyone gets hurt!
Review Quotes
Praise for Ms. Marvel: Stretched Thin
"Stretched Thin is a moving work for younger readers. The book's action rarely bleeds from panel to panel, and the paneling itself mostly eschews grids to focus on fluid pacing . . . a wondrous book. -- The Av Club, "A" Review
