Summary

It's hard to fit in when you’re the new kid in superhero school!

On Super Goat Girl’s first day, she’s met with a lot of stares, after all what kind of superhero doesn’t have a fancy costumer or a funky cape? While the other children have fun writing with lasers, doing lightning-fast math, and being super stretchy, Super Goat Girl doubts she can measure up. As weird events happen throughout the day, will she be able to figure out what her special superpower is and work out how not to feel super strange?

Super Goat Girl is a humorously heartwarming book that tackles the difficulties of imposter syndrome and encourages young readers to find confidence in their abilities whilst finding joy in makes them special.
