Pepper Page Saves the Universe
Pepper Page Saves the Universe | Landry Q. Walker
1 post | 1 read
Landry Walker's Pepper Page Saves the Universe is a middle-grade futuristic superhero story about a shy comic book girl-geek becoming her own superhero inspiration. The year is 2421. Awkward and shy, Pepper buries herself in the universe of the classic fictional superhero Supernova to avoid dealing with the perils of the 9th grade. But then fate intervenes when Pepper encounters a strange cat named Mister McKittens and stumbles into a volatile science experiment run by a sinister substitute teacher named Doctor Killian. Pepper is flung into another dimension, bringing her face to face with an order of cosmic beings who declare her to be the steward of their great power, champion of harmony in the universe, protector of worlds present and past. Now, in the 21st Century, Pepper finds that she herself is the real Supernova. But as Pepper soon learns, escapist fantasy and reality are two very different things.

Mehso-so

This book was set to function as a superhero origin story, and it explained Pepper‘s piece extremely well. However, when it came to explaining Supernova and her transformation, I was disenchanted. Supernova learned how to use her powers way too quickly to make sense, and the big fight scene that should‘ve been a good chunk of the book was over in just a few pages. This was such a cute concept, but it just felt unfinished.
