Hi everyone!
This is my 1st book review on The Shy Supergirl, as the title already tells you. This book is not a 'You have to read it or else you'll go crazy' but it is nevertheless good. It has an interesting backstory, a girl who hates Hindi homework and a SUPERHERO!
If you ask me, this book is perfect for those between the age of 7-9. I found myself wishing it would go on. I feel Mrs. Shabnam Minwalla has done a really good job and the illustrations by Tanvi Bhat really brighten up the story, even if they're black and white. In this story, the main character, Nina, is just the sort of superhero who you would like to be, and you can tell this is going to be a short, but sweet story.
No, I'm not like those people who go all lah-di-dah over books because they review them.( I'll have you know that the publishers of duckbill have not sent me this. I had it at home) These are my honest opinions. Here's a summary of the book:
Meet Nina, the average 9 year old child you saw everyday. When an adult looked at her, they thought they saw an ordinary, shy child who lived in Venus Towers. This just goes on to prove that grown-ups can be pretty daft.( There's a similar line in the book.) For Nina was anything but ordinary. She had a secret superpower that nobody knew about. Well, almost nobody. Buggy knew. He was her best friend.The summer holidays were starting and they had the whole summer planned out. But when a precious silver owl goes missing, it's up to Buggy and Nina to find the culprit!
