Kamala Khan (aka Ms. Marvel) has too much on her plate. She is trying to maintain her schoolwork, her fanfic writing, her friendships, family, and her super hero skills. Kamala has a hard time asking for help, but when a robot invades the Avengers Tower, she has to draw upon her skills and her friends to save the day. 

 I like that Kamala’s family is from the Middle East and that her family is so strong. That is refreshing in YW lit. This is a fun read that shows the power of friends and family, though the plot is predictable.
