Description
Pepper Page Saves the Universe! by Landry Q. Walker and Eric Jones is a middle-grade futuristic superhero story about a shy comic book girl-geek becoming her own superhero inspiration!
The year is 2421. Awkward and shy, Pepper buries herself in the universe of the classic fictional superhero, Supernova, to avoid dealing with the perils of the 9th grade. But then fate intervenes when Pepper encounters a strange cat named Mister McKittens and stumbles into a volatile science experiment run by a sinister substitute teacher named Doctor Killian.
Pepper is flung into another dimension, bringing her face to face with an order of cosmic beings who declare her to be the steward of their great power, the champion of harmony in the universe, and the protector of worlds present and past.
Now, in the 21st Century, Pepper finds that she herself is the real Supernova. But as Pepper soon learns, escapist fantasy and reality are two very different things.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Publisher's Weekly praises Eric Jones' vibrant artwork with "strong line work, lanky characters, and luminescent colours" that evoke both classic comics and modern styles. Kirkus highlights the metafictional blend of superhero tropes with Pepper's emotional growth, calling it "a fast-paced, feel-good romp." A starred review from The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books applauds the detailed insights into graphic novel creation and welcomes the planned series continuation.
