A nice children's introduction to Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel. It's plotless, and it mostly lists truncated versions of events in Kamala's start as a superhero (as well as later on when she leaves the Avengers to form her own teen superhero team in her home turf), but for what it is, it works. It leaves out basically nothing about her as is established in the Marvel canon, such as her being a Pakistani American teen who loves superheroes, as well as her family, her friends, her Muslim religion, her heritage, and her hometown of Jersey City. Everything about her makes her a good hero, and a good person (telling the reader over and over again how and why she helps people can get repetitive quickly, however).
An added beautiful touch the picture book makes is that it says that Kamala's family fully supports her - they are a lot nicer and more understanding than in the comics and other media! (Bonus points for implying that they know she is Ms. Marvel, too. This is a good thing. Take note, Marvel).A unique and awesome and inspiring teen superheroine!
Final Score: 3.5/5
P.S. Funny how in this Little Golden Book it says that Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel used to be known as Ms. Marvel, when in her own Little Golden Book this detail isn't mentioned at all.
