Josie may not be able to fight in WWII, but she will do her part to keep her family together while her father is. After being brushed off for a job as a decoder. She and the other girls who were rejected band together. And through odd circumstances the girls discover that together they have superpowers! But all of the superheroes have disappeared! What can three young girls do to even the odds again? And who is the evil man who has the power to destroy them?
As popular superhero movies are, I have had a hard time getting my students interested in actually reading books about them. And this one is set during WWII – making the time period less accessible for them. The action and adventure and swash-buckling fun, so this should be placed in the right reader’s hand.
