Publisher Description
An audiobook about a shy new kid in superhero school, who's not like any of the others, and has to figure out how not to feel so super-strange
On Super Goat Girl's first day at her new school, she's met with stares. Laserbeam Lass, Robo Kid, and Noodle Boy don't know what to make of her—after all, what kind of a super has no swagger, and not even a cape? At recess, while the others have fun writing with lasers, doing lightning-fast math, and being super stretchy, Super Goat Girl doubts she can measure up. But when an army of evil aliens appears and ties up their teacher, Miss Damsel, it’s Super Goat Girl to the rescue—the only one who can chomp through the impossibly strong rope. She's sure she'll fit in now, but the other kids just seem confused—is chewing even a superpower? So maybe she's still not the right kind of super. At lunch, she gets another chance to prove herself when a giant gorilla crashes into the cafeteria and her supersonic bleat scares him away. But is being loud a superpower?
Then the biggest test comes when the other kids accidentally create a black hole and Miss Damsel is sucked inside. This time when Super Goat Girl helps them save the day with her bravery and quick thinking, they begin to appreciate her. After all, almost every day calls for some superpowers—and they now realize that by sticking together, they’ll have the best chance of taking on anything that comes their way.

"In a class of superheroes, the pressure to shine runs high. On Super Goat Girl’s first day of school, her teacher Miss Damsel introduces her to the class. Though the students include an alien and a robot, they quickly decide that Super Goat Girl doesn’t fit in. . . . But when evil aliens lasso Miss Damsel, Goat Girl’s teeth chomp through a rope made from impossibilium (the strongest substance on the extraterrestrials’ planet), rescuing the teacher when the other students can’t. Is chewing a superpower, her classmates wonder? Using other talents such as her intense bleat, Goat Girl repeatedly saves her teacher. . . . Only teamwork, in the end, convinces the classmates of Super Goat Girl’s value. Divided into graphic novel–esque panels, Adeola’s zany cartoon illustrations, with their cheerfully discordant color scheme, give distinct personalities to these unusual characters and offer an empathetic view of the shy protagonist, whose confidence grows as she helps. A worthy tale in which the seemingly ordinary becomes extraordinary."

Quotes

“The eponymous protagonist of this classroom-set picture book experiences new-kid woes after starting at a school for superheroes. . . . Yet when nemeses arrive to wreak havoc—aimed mostly at teacher Miss Damsel—Super Goat Girl seems to have the crucial talent. She chews through evil aliens’ seemingly impenetrable rope and bleats at a frequency that routs a giant gorilla. Initially skeptical or grudging, her classmates finally pull together to help Super Goat Girl achieve the day’s final rescue. Irreverent text from Baptiste (Mermaid and Pirate) is filled with running jokes and winks to goats’ cries (‘Is eeevery day like this?’), while digital artwork by Adeloa (Speak Up!) both pays tribute to and gently spoofs classic superhero comics. It’s a funny, high-energy take on how embracing one’s unique talents is the surest path to becoming the GOAT.
