Sam MaggsMarvel Fearless and Fantastic! Female Super Heroes Save the World

My super hero obsessed 5 year old daughter is completely in love with this. And her father and I are too. What an incredibly fantastic book. The artwork is super cool, and the explanations of each character are interesting as well. I love that it focuses on traits like compassion and curiosity as what makes a superhero. This is a true female empowerment book! So beyond happy with this.

Wonderful book. Great illustrations and great writing. My 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son fight over who gets to look at the book at night. For parents reading books at night, you can read about characters pretty quickly. Highly recommend.

Very informative and inclusive a good read kept me entertained all the way through couldn't put it down highly recommended

This was a quick, fun read of female superheroes from the comic book world. It includes illustrations, an origin story of each character and even a list of friends and allies of each character. I learned quite a bit on a subject that I didn't know a lot about.

My 8 year old daughter loves this book. The art is great and it gives info on so many characters we didn’t know about.

My nieces who love anything Marvel Super heroes and especially for young girls, they love the female Super heroes! Wish we had more stories and books with them for young kids and not just the comic books. How about Comic Books for young kids?

Got this for my wife, she loves it. Keep in mind it's not stories just profiles of many of the female heroes in the marvel universe.

Great Condition and full of information and very inspiring!

This is a wonderfully gender positive book but not in an over the top way that so many ‘for girls’ stuff is at the moment. One of my daughters (I bought it as a shared gift for all of them) read it from cover to cover straight after finishing opening her parents and before playing with anything else.

Got 'Powers of a girl' last month and it felt a bit incomplete as there are no X-Men characters. This book fulfills the dream, a nice overview of every female character you ever wanted along a beautiful artwork and a bunch of familiar faces.A great piece for my bookcase!

It's informative, but there is no story, and the characters synopsis' read like book reports.

I expected more from this book, it's a book for children but was not advertised that way.

Given the success of the Marvel films in recent years, and my daughters and I love those, there a plethora of Marvel related goods out there these days. This book is another book looking at the Marvel characters (see, for example, "Marvel Avengers Ultimate Character Guide" or "Marvel Avengers The Greatest Heroes: World Book Day 2018"). This time though the book is only looking at the female characters, "the inspiring female Super Heroes of Marvel Comics".Altogether there are profiles (with these histories following the comic stories I believe, not necessarily the film versions) for 54 characters spread across four chapters "relating to personal qualities: determination, daring, compassion and curiosity". Each profile is across a double page with a beautiful, full-page colour image of the character (as it is from Marvel you would expect the art to be visually-stunning as standard, and it is, although Marvel-geeks may say that the artwork has been recycled from the archives), then a page of text with the character name across the top, a quote of theirs (for example "Be unique because you are unique!" by Firebird, or "We are a team. We are friends. We are heroes. And it is time we save the day." by Singularity), a couple of paragraphs on their history, and a bit at the bottom called "Friends, allies and role models" that references other characters in the book that this character has related with.There are characters recognisable from the films, e.g. Storm, Jean Grey and Rogue from X-Men, Black Widow and Pepper Potts from the Avenger films and Gamora from Guardians of the Galaxy, and other characters that maybe you haven't discovered yet, for example Moon Girl who seems to be bookish and smart and of school age and someone my eldest daughter might relate with most out of the characters here.It is great that these characters are collected here so that girls have a (hard-back) book of heroes for them. It does beg the question though why, with all these female characters in the Marvel canon, has not one of them had a film dedicated to them yet (although it seems Captain Marvel is due to be released in 2019). We'd had Captain America films, Iron Man films, Thor films, but have had to wait thus far for the female hero solo film.Anyway the 2-page character histories can be easily looked up as there is a contents page, and they can be quickly digested plus they are visually appealing. This is a good introduction to the female Marvel Super Heroes, with many of them exhibiting a lot of inspiring qualities that might make them role model material.
