Black Canary: Ignite

by Meg Cabot and Cara McGee

Cara McGee (Illustrator)

From Meg Cabot, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Princess Diaries!

Thirteen-year-old Dinah Lance knows exactly what she wants, who she is, and where she's going. First, she'll win the battle of the bands with her two best friends, then she'll join the Gotham City Junior Police Academy so she can solve crimes just like her dad. Who knows, her rock-star group of friends may even save the world, but first they'll need to agree on a band name. When a mysterious figure keeps getting in the way of Dinah's goals and threatens her friends and family, she'll learn more about herself, her mother's secret past, and navigating the various power chords of life.

With expressive and energetic art by Cara McGee to match the trademark attitude and spunk of Meg Cabot's characters and dialogue, this mother-daughter story embraces the highs and lows of growing up without growing out of what makes us unique. It's an inspirational song that encourages readers to find their own special voices to sing along with Black Canary!

Reviews

[Quirky Cat]

BLACK CANARY: IGNITE 0 ut this Tuesday from DC Zoom, the graphic novel is a tell-all tale of a young Dinah Lance and her journey towards becoming a hero. Perfect for fans of the illustrious Black Canary, this graphic novel will fit all age brackets.

Black Canary: Ignite is the latest in a round of graphic novels geared towards a younger audience. And like the rest in the series, this is the tale of a younger Dinah, before she had truly settled into her powers or her superhero persona.

As such, we get to see an entirely new side of Dinah Lance, aka Black Canary, in this novel. It’s an exciting take, naturally. And it provides a lot of insight for the trials and tribulations she faced, long before she gained control over her iconic power.
