Synopsis

Get your cape on with the DC Super Hero Girls(TM)--the unprecedented new Super Hero universe especially for girls! Readers of all ages can fly high with the all-new adventures of Wonder Woman(TM), Supergirl(TM), Batgirl(TM), and some of the world's most iconic female super heroes as high schoolers!

Supergirl is the new girl in school--and she just also happens to be the most powerful teenager in the galaxy!

After losing her home planet of Krypton and everyone she knows, Supergirl has made a new home on Earth, but she's isn't so sure that Super Hero High School is the right place for her. Wonder Woman, other new friends, and a kindly librarian make her feel welcome, but breached inter-dimensional portals, invading alien armies, and bad dreams shake her confidence. It's not easy being a super hero and a high school student all at once!

Award-winning author Lisa Yee brings mystery, thrills, and laughs to this groundbreaking series that follows DC Comics' most iconic female Super Heroes and Super-Villains. Move over Batman(TM) and Superman(TM)--the DC Super Hero Girls are ready to save the day and have fun doing it!

Praise for DC Super Hero Girls:
"Sure to have wide appeal, this book is a solid option to balance collections saturated with male superheroes." --School Library Journal

"If you have a middle grader in your life looking for super-sized action, or a superhero enthusiast who isn't sure where to turn to get more of the superheroes they might see on TV or in movies... Or if you just want to dive into a good book that shows young readers--especially young female readers--that girls can be the super heroes of their own stories, look no further: Super Hero High is for you." - Kirkus
