Ms. Marvel: Stretched Thin, written by Nadia Shammas and Nabi H. Ali, reviewed by Terry Wahrman

Summary:  Kamala Khan (A.K.A. Ms. Marvel) has powers that allow her to stretch her body.  She is a highschool student with many obligations to family, friends and now training to be a superhero for the avengers.  She is struggling to keep it together.  A mysterious robot is sent to her as a toy.  The robot, when plugged into her computer, infiltrates her computer files and is a threat to the avengers and their training location. It’s up to Ms. Marvel to get herself together, ask for help, and fix the mess she’s made.

Straight Talk for Librarians:  Highly recommended.  Ms. Marvel is an American muslim girl from a traditional Middle Eastern family.  It’s not easy to be a teenager and a superhero.  Kamala learns that asking for help is not a sign of weakness.  It only makes her and the team stronger and unbeatable.  It is a good lesson to be taught.  This would make a good classroom read or a stand alone book.
