Janey has learned that in middle school it is best to blend in, not stand out or you risk becoming a victim of Dagmar's bullying - like Paige. But then, all of a sudden, Captain Superlative arrives in her blue wig, cape, and good deeds. She stands up for the bullied, holds the door open for kids, helps people with tests. She is amazing and soon Janey finds herself joining Captain Superlative. Soon she is noticed for all the right reasons and Dagmar seems to be losing her command. But then Janey learns Captain Superlative's secret and is confused, angry, and scared. Can Janey find the courage to take up Captain Superlative's mantle?
I have really been struggling to find time to read. Long days at school - some stresses and disappointments - and then too tired to focus on my reading. I have been chipping away at this for about a week and had only got 1/2 through. But then tonight I really dove in and became entranced. Yes, it has some flaws - I find it hard to believe that Dagmar's situation was allowed to go on as long as it did - but it was a good story. There was good growth in the characters and a good message.
