⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Malaka Gharib shows us what it was like growing up the daughter of a Filipino mother and Egyptian father. Living in California, but spending summers in Egypt with her father‘s new family, the clash of cultures becomes increasingly evident. Like most teens, she struggled with identity. I loved the relationship and parallels between her and Hala. Also loved the 90s music references; we must be about the same age. 🤘🏼

Going into this book, I didn‘t know what to expect. I didn‘t know much about Krypton, other than the fact it is Superman‘s birthplace. But once I started reading it, I was very intrigued!

I‘ve read many of DC‘s graphic novels for young adults, and this one leans more on the action packed side. It is full of adventure and there is never a dull moment.

Wasted all my time
Waiting for the main event
Turns out there was none

UGH! This was written in 2020, so maybe when we were all home doing nothing, this was RIVETING. I am so disappointed. I may give the author another shot, because some of his other comics look interesting, but then again, so did this one 🙃 But I promise if they aren't going anywhere after the first volume, I will DNF faster than green grass through a goose.

Okay, here is my list for my first attempt at #bookspinbingo !
