As we all know, summer is a time of reading. I have read quite a few books already, and it’s only been a week! This is one I just finished, about female superheroes during World War II, some wearing capes and some not.
In the paragraph above, I told you that the story is set in WWII. The main protagonist of the story, Josie is a girl who wants to do her part, like the superheros she loved, before they all disappeared. Her dad is off fighting in the war, and her mom works at the shipyard putting battleships together. Josie gets a chance to help in her own way when a puzzler tryout comes to town. She knows she did a great job on the exam, but the mean Mr. Hissler doesn’t consider her-just because she’s a girl! However, the strange Mrs. B and her dog Astra give Josie and two other outraged female puzzlers, Akiko and Mae, a chance to become something more than a puzzler. To become something…super.
There are currently two books in this series (The League of Secret Heroes) by Kate Hannigan. Mask is the second book. Anyone who likes superheroes, adventure, and girl power will enjoy this series.

I think I’d like to read this- I’m intrigued by the combination of super hero and WW2. Thanks!

This sounds like a neat book…with a lot of excitement. Also a great message, a girl can be anything she wants to be. Keep reading Nora.
