Lois Lane, to me, is the hero for little girls to look up to. A strong, independent journalist, with strong skills in sleuthing. And, I suppose she had to start somewhere, but this story, of where she started being interested in journalism just felt off to me. There was nothing of the future Lois here, nothing at all. Yes, she was forceful, but in a very, very annoying way. This took me a while to read it, I kept starting and stopping, because I didn't like this version of Lois as a young girl,

It was... Okay

Absolutely no growth for Lois or repercussions for her extremely selfish actions across the book.

I really wanted to love this, it's extremely my thing with a creative team I love... and yet... Lois is just an obnoxious character in this. Her growth feels unearned, it feels flat, maybe kids would enjoy this but for me... this was a miss.

I enjoy a lot of these stories coming out about the heroes a lot of us grew up with, but with a new take. This one was so so. The art was truly vibrant and captured the energy of the book, but the story itself wasn’t really there. I thought the author pushed the “twist” of Lois not wanting to be a journalist a bit too hard. While the friendship struggles were relatable, the resolution was a bit of a disappointment. Not a bad story, but not special.

An element of mystery hidden in a friendship that is being tested. Jealousy over new friends, struggling with evolving change and growing up, and a summer apart drove Lois to accuse others where the blame was misconceived. For long time Lois Lane/Superman fans finding Izzy Kent inside was a nice surprise and eludes to the bigger storyline while not being obvious to readers getting their first taste of the characters. A well done plot focusing on relevant friendship obstacles experienced by every...

This was not a good book. It was supposed to be a story about friendship, but instead Lois spends the entire book pushing away her best friend, targeting someone for no reason, being a bit of a bully, and acting rudely with nearly everyone she interacts with. She's not someone to look to for young people. And I honestly don't really know what the point of this story was between the bike race and the friendship challenge. This was just a weird and unnecessary story.

What in the Hades did this author do to Lois Lane. This is Lois Lane as a middle grade student. I hate her. She's whiny, she's obnoxious, and she's a terrible friend. I know all kids grow up to be different people. There's lots of canon of Lois Lane and her adventures with Superman but this as a start off tale sucks. Lois Lane is way too involved in her phone. She has a vidme channel which is like YouTube, and she's so concerned about winning this online contest and how many hits she gets Etc. I...

This rating/review is based on an ARC from Netgalley and DC Comics. I had high hopes going into this because I like what DC has done with Wonder Woman middle grade comic. This is bad though! Lois Lane is a terrible friend, a bully, and just an overall turd! She steamrolls everyone in her life and treats people who care about her like crap. It was honestly really hard to read! I give the writing one star, but I can’t rate the book overall that low because I really like the illustrations by Brittn...

What made Lois Lane become a reporter? This new middle grade graphic novel gives us a scenario where Lois discovers the value of investigative reporting. She and her best friend both want the best summer ever, but find their priorities are clashing. Lois is determined to when a social media challenge, but Kristen is looking for support in preparing for sleep-away camp. The graphic panels are colorful and filled with diverse characters. Unfortunately, Lois herself is abrasive and comes across as

"I liked how Lois Lane and her friend Kristin got back together after they had a friend fight. They also made a new friend named Izzy and the three of them solved a mystery. It was planned as something fun for Lois to do as Kristin was supposed to go to summer camp." -Cadee, age 8

E ARC provided by NetgalleyThe illustrations are great, and the plot is okay, but I had some issues with this. Lois was one of the most self-centered, thoughtless characters I have see portrayed lately. For instance, she hides in the bushes with an air horn and blows it at someone passing on a bike, knocking her off! So she can video tape it. NOT okay. She is also very mean to her best friend. Even her facial expressions are rather evil. Since comic book characters aren't terribly popular with m...

Painfully unreadable. Incredibly "childish" and not.

I love Lois Lane so I was really looking forward to this book. Not only am I not in the demographic my children are no longer in the demographic. So take my review with that disclosure in mind. The art is lovely but even that wasn't enough to save this. Lois in this story is annoying, selfish and mean. Sometimes in the Silver Age comics she’d be characterized this way. “Men have had every advantage of us in telling their own story. Education has been theirs in so much higher a degree; the pen ha...

I have very mixed feelings about this book. From a purely commercial standpoint I think this book will do well. As a bookseller I would still recommend it to readers who liked Shannon Hale's "Real Friends", "The Babysitters Club" series etc. It has a weak mystery element but enough that kids in that demographic will enjoy it.From a personal standpoint I found myself really disliking the Lois Lane character. While I understand some elements of her selfish characterization are supposed to be a foi...

Very fun book to read. Great for kids (or adults) of pretty much any age. As much as we'd like to sometimes pretend otherwise, friendships can be difficult at times, especially when we're young and dont exactly know how to be a good friend. Lois has to learn some valuable lessons about what it takes to be a good friend, and it's a great lesson for any of us to remember.

3.5I think it was a good book, it just was not the kind of book that I usually enjoy. But other than that, it was a very good book!

Hello, hi, I hope everyone is doing well!It has been an extremely busy week already. I have done a lot of reading, a lot of catching up on my Youtube watch list, and a lot of random adult stuff. In the midst of all of that I picked up a new to me graphic novel to read! I have been reading a lot of the DC graphic novels and I remembered that this one came out a while ago, I honestly did not know much about it before going in but I was still excited to give it a try! So I hoped over to Hoopla and

In this juvenile graphic novel, Lois Lane is a toxic, abusive friend who yells at, lies to, interrupts, steamrolls over, and sabotages the people around her. She wants to win a social media Friendship Challenge, but her obsession with her world's version of YouTube just alienates her friends, and she refuses to listen or care. She is also petty, jealous, and vindictive. This is not the Lois Lane that anyone knows or loves, but is a child who could easily warrant a psychiatric intervention.The my...

Lois and her best friend, Kristen, are entering the neighborhood bike race, but the fireworks for the big event have been stolen. Lois only wants to record the event for her online channel where she hopes to create a viral video. She's so focused on her own project that she doesn't understand how anxious Kristen is feeling about leaving for camp the day after the race. Can their friendship survive when Lois is so determined to be an internet star?I loved the artwork and the cute designs! The sto...
