SuperMutant Magic Academy by Jillian Tamaki

This is my "Adventures of Superhero Girl" of 2015, but mixed with a healthy helping of the absurd, sometimes existentially poignant humor of "The Perry Bible Fellowship."

This is one of those books I purposely read slowly so that it would last longer. I'm jealous of anyone who gets to read it for the first time.

This one summer by Mariko Tamaki

2.5 rounded up to 3. There was a lot of potential but the execution was lacking and the characters felt shallow and way underdeveloped.

This One Summer by Mariko Tamaki

I really loved the whole idea of this book but the plot was lacking for me. There really wasn't much of a purpose or moral to the story which I think is what bothered me the most. It felt like it was all building up to something and then nothing happened.
