Book Recommendation

A lot of people like superheros, and even people who don't usually know about Superman, Wonder Woman, Iron Man, Captain America, and the Hulk. If you're familiar with the theme of this blog, you're probably wondering why I started this post with superheros. Well, the hero-creating people at DC, Marvel, etc. tend to get a fair amount of their inspiration from animals. There are the common ones that get movies, like Spider-man, but there's a lesser-known hero who's actually pretty cool. The one I'm talking about is based off a common mammal that's brown, grey, red, black, or white, found on almost every continent, is high-energy, intelligent, and has a big fluffy tail. Yes, it's a squirrel, and they've got more hero-worthy powers than one might think. (To find out more click on these links.) The hero's name is Squirrel Girl, whose powers include a big tail, running 20 mph, and talking to squirrels. She first showed up in Marvel comics in 1991. Now she has two novels by Shannon and Dean Hale,and both are fun books that I highly recommend.
