Super Goat Girl

Author: Tracey BaptisteIllustrator: Dapo Adeola

What a title! There she is, unmistakenly the character of the title, her proud G emblazoned upon her front. The Super class is full of SUPERS, who mock her shy appearance…this is a page to be studied, taking in all the other SUPERS. At playtime, the Supers show off their individual talents and demand to know just what talents Goat Girl has. So when an army of evil aliens lands in the playground and lasso their teacher, whilst all the other Supers fail to rescue her, it is S.G.G., with her super strong teeth who snaps the impossibilium rope. The other Supers can write with lasers, do maths at lightning speed, and stretch all around the classroom, so S.G.G. wonders however she can match up. It takes a real disaster to reveal just how super special she actually is.  This is a wonderful tale exploring the joy of finding confidence and friendship, in being just who we are and finding what makes each of us special. The completely whacky illustrations will entrance solo readers. Every character leaps into action each time it is appropriate, and it is possible to read the story without using the text, the pictures follow the story line so closely. Lots of appeal for those readers who like a bit of action in their choice of books.
