Summary:

Donut (middle name: The; last name: Destroyer) has a heart of gold and incredible strength. She lives in a world where everyone is born with a special ability and can choose whether to develop it for good or evil. Donut has just received the best news of her life -- she's been accepted to Lionheart School for Heroes!

But her parents are the most infamous villains around, and her best friend, Ivy, can't understand why Donut would choose a life of boring heroism and ruin their plans to cause chaos. Donut is determined to prove that, despite her last name, she's meant to go her own way and be a hero. Meanwhile, Ivy cooks up a plan to get Donut kicked out of Lionheart -- and back on track to villainy! (Summary and cover courtesy of goodreads.com)

Review:

This book was adorable and a great hero story.  Donut is endearing and I thought the story was really cute.  Graley does a great job creating a world that is believable and a perfect break from the real world.  It sort of reminded me of the “Please Don’t Tell my Parents I’m a Supervillain”, but in a reverse perspective.  The message that was portrayed was solid and something that I would recommend to readers of all ages.

I hope one day it becomes a full series, but as of now there aren’t any sequels that I am aware of.  This was a rare graphic novel I was able to pick up at the library so I recommend looking it up!

Rating: 5 stars!

Who should read it? Any graphic novel fans!
