Have you ever heard of a superhero who can talk to squirrels, climb trees like a ninja, and has a GIANT fluffy tail? Meet Doreen Green, also known as Squirrel Girl—a totally fun and totally unbeatable teenage superhero!

In Squirrel Meets World, Doreen has just moved from sunny California to New Jersey. She’s 14, full of energy, and trying to keep a big secret: she has squirrel powers! That means super strength, super jumping, and yes—she can chat with squirrels (how cool is that?). But hiding her tail at school? That’s a different kind of super challenge!

As Doreen tries to settle into her new town, make friends, and fit in at her new school, something strange happens—a mysterious villain appears, and suddenly it’s up to Squirrel Girl to save the day. Can she stop the baddie while keeping her superhero identity secret?

This story isn’t just about battling bad guys. It’s also about friendship, kindness, and standing up for what’s right. Doreen is funny, smart, and always sees the good in others. Her best friend, Ana Sofia, is also an awesome character who wears hearing aids and shows how being different can be a strength. Together, the two girls make a fantastic team.

The book is packed with humor, action, and squirrel-y surprises, and even includes some clever footnotes (though some readers might find those a bit distracting). But if you love Marvel heroes, laugh-out-loud moments, and a supergirl who’s full of heart, this book is a must-read.

Squirrel Girl may not fly or shoot lasers—but she’s got something even better: brains, bravery, and a big fluffy tail!
