A teen has a wild summer in ‘Girl Taking Over’
I have read a number of graphic novels lately. Most of the time they tell some pretty amazing stories. When I heard about Girl Taking Over: A Lois Lane Story I was looking forward to reading it. I was able to get a digital copy of this graphic novel and here is my thoughts on it.
You can read the plot for Girl Taking Over here:
Ambitious small town girl Lois Lane tackles a summer in the big city with gusto, but a cavalcade of setbacks—including an annoying frenemy roommate, a beyond tedious internship at a suddenly corporatized website, and a boss who demotes her to coffee-fetching minion—threatens to derail her extremely detailed life plan. And, you know, her entire future.
When Lois uncovers a potentially explosive scandal, she must team up with the last person she’d expect to publish her own website for young women. And as Lois discovers who she really is and what she actually wants, she becomes embroiled in her own scandal that could destroy everything she’s worked so hard to create.
I had a hard time putting this graphic novel down. We meet a teenaged Lois Lane who is ready to have the best summer ever. Almost immediately, her plans seem to take many unexpected turns. Living with an ex friend for the summer doesn’t help make her feel much better. Yet when a shocking truth comes out, these two girls end up taking drastic action. Just when it looks like it is all coming apart, something amazing ends up happening. As this graphic novel comes to a close, life for Lois Lane will never be the same.
Girl Taking Over: A Lois Lane Story is available now. You can order this graphic novel on Amazon, at Barnes and Noble and on Bookshop.
