Exhaustion Is The Mother Of Brevity…Or Something
Yes, I intentionally mixed my metaphors there, but seriously. I drove 4 incredibly overtired kids home from Meridian, Idaho today, and then waded in to attack the unpacking and laundry. (I also acquired 3 extra children, but that’s a story for another day.) On the other hand, almost as soon as I review Shannon Hale’s The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl: 2 Fuzzy, 2 Furious, I can pass it on to my two oldest children (and get it off of my library card!). Just be warned–this will NOT be a lengthy review.
Then again, Squirrel Girl: 2 doesn’t need one. Doreen Green and her alter ego, as well as her BHFF and BSFFs, are back AND more fabulous than ever. When a book has evil human/animal hybrids, a very sketchy mall, successful resolution of realistic friend problems, a (possibly super-) villainous English teacher, and 2.5 pages of totally awesome squirrel names, a review seems almost superfluous. (And that’s not even counting the group texts with the Avengers.) If you like Marvel movies, if you like relatable heroines–heck, if you like to laugh–do not miss Shannon Hale’s Squirrel Girl novels.
They will totally make your life better.
