A little twee, but very cute concept. I know nothing about Black Canary, but it was all clear enough without.

A bit mild, clunky and generic, but this one line near the end as things became super ridiculous just made me laugh my head off for a very long time: "You became a middle school teacher just to get revenge on my mother?" Intentional or not, it made my day, so bonus star for you, Cabot.

I love this character. I normally tell people that DC has the best villians and Marvel has the best super heroes, I am changing my tune after this book. I want Meg Cabot to write more about the Black Canary. I want to know more about her friends and her life as an undercover hero just trying to
