Review: Shadow of the Batgirl
Shadow of the Batgirl
by Sarah Kuhn and Nicole Goux

Shadow of the Batgirl: A Cassandra Cain Graphic Novel by Sarah Kuhn and Nicole Goux is a fun, quick read, great for people new to superhero comics. If you’re someone like me, and superhero comics feel intimidating (so many volumes, so little time!), Shadow of the Batgirl is a great, no-strings-attached read that is less about fighting crime, and more about a girl finding out who she is. The authors felt it was important to represent this often overlooked hero, Cassandra, and give her her own canon. It’s exciting and heartwarming, but most notably, the art is amazing. Goux draws with a singular vision. It is graphic novels like these that demonstrate the relationship between illustration and words and how they come together to create something new. I’m excited to see what comes next for Cassandra Cain and would recommend this book to lovers of graphic novels.

Review: I Love You So Mochi
I Love You So Mochi
by Sarah Kuhn
Publisher: Scholastic Press
Publication Date: May 28, 2019
Kimi Nakamura loves fashion and designing bold, beautiful outfits. But her mom has worked hard to be an successful painter and expects Kimi to follow in her footsteps as a “Great Asian American Artist.” After they have an explosive, emotional confrontation, Kimi gets a letter from her mother’s estranged parents inviting her to visit them in Kyoto and seizes the opportunity to escape for spring break. She is dazzled by Japan’s attractions, which include Akira, a part-time mochi mascot who dreams of being a doctor. By getting to know her grandparents, Kimi learns more about her mother and herself, and sees they are more alike than she thought.
I LOVE YOU SO MOCHI by Sarah Kuhn is full of personality. Kimi’s fun and creativity really come through in Kuhn’s writing, and her vivid descriptions of Japan made me want to hop on the next plane there! Kimi’s romance with Akira is adorable. I think it is a little fast-moving, but it can be forgiven considering Kimi’s limited time in Japan. The relationships in the book are well-written, especially those of Kimi, her mom, and her grandparents. I LOVE YOU SO MOCHI is an introspective yet sweet book about love for your family, your crush, and your passion.
