Pix Volume 2: Too Super for School cover

It's back to school for Pix - the superhero who claims she's a fairy princess - where she's not winning any popularity contests. Worried she's causing more harm than good, Pix makes some BIG changes, like hanging up her cape, making a new friend, and questioning if maybe she's not a fairy princess after all. Plus: monsters, bullies, mad science, confessions, magic, and the prom in the next chapter of this sensational suburban superhero saga!

VOYA -- Schigiel mixes superhero action with fairy tale tropes and lots of humor to create a fun story with a strong, appealing teenage female protagonist. Pix's friends aren't merely there for background, but have distinct personalities and play important roles in the story as well. Schigiel uses a colorful, cartoony style and draws his human characters to look like people, for example, Pix looks like a cute teenage girl with a realistic figure, and her superhero costume is a modest (and cute) dress. Libraries who want to provide good superhero role models for younger teen girls should check out this book.
