My So-Called Superpowers #2
My So-Called Superpowers: Mixed Emotions
The second book in Heather Nuhfer's heartfelt, hilarious, and acclaimed My So-Called Superpowers series, illustrated by Simini Blocker, where middle-school student Veronica’s superpowers will ruin everything―if she doesn’t beat them to it.
Veronica has worked hard to get her feelings under control. Sure, sometimes a strong emotion turns into a superpower―giving her a personal raincloud on a bad day, or literally turning her green with envy. But it’s happening a lot less these days! Then she finds out what she’ll be doing at summer directing her own movie with her best friend Charlie―and her best frenemy Becky.
At first it seems fun, until Veronica’s superpowers start affecting other people. When Veronica calls “Action!” everyone has to do what she says. But is that the best way to make her dream movie―or to treat her friends?
My So-Called Mixed Emotions raises the stakes on Veronica’s middle-school adventures, proving that her powers are both the best thing and the worst thing that’s ever happened to her.

*I received an eARC of this book from the publisher through NetGalley*
If you enjoyed the first book in this series, I think you'll enjoy this one, as well. We see characters from the first book in a new light, see more of other characters (like Charlie's moms), as well as meeting new characters. Veronica's powers take on a new dimension, and she also has to cope with the challenges of leading a film camp production with a crew that all have very different ideas. It's cute, and funny, and a little different coming-of-age kind of story.

This was a fun engaging book. The visuals of Veronica exploring her powers and not really understanding them left great visuals.
