About this title

About the Author:

Ryan North is the (New York Times bestselling, Eisner-award winning) creator of Dinosaur Comics, the co-editor of the Machine of Death series, and the author of To Be or Not To Be, the choose-your-own-path version of Hamlet! He has written the "Adventure Time" comic and writes "The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl" for Marvel Comics, who you might know from their movies about an iron man. 

He also once reviewed the novelization of Back to the Future, page-by-page, which was crazy. I think you can buy that book on this site too. It's called "B to the F". Maybe check it out!!

He lives in Toronto, Canada with his wife Jenn and his dog Noam Chompsky!

From School Library Journal:

Gr 6 Up—In this latest adventure, college student Doreen Green, aka Squirrel Girl, saves a group of hostages, including her cat-loving roommate, Nancy, from robot dinosaurs. She encourages a mutated hippo with a fiery temper to become a demolition worker instead of robbing banks, and she teams up with Chipmunk Hunk, Koi Boi, Loki (who, at the request of Nancy, transforms himself into "Cat Thor" from her Thor fan fiction), and the new and previous Thors in order to defeat Ratatoskr, the Norse God of Squirrels, whose influence makes heroes and ordinary citizens alike turn on one another. Squirrel Girl's incredible strength, intellect, and genuine interest in making friends make her an unbeatable heroine and a relatable role model. While there are appearances by current Marvel superheroes, prior knowledge of the larger Marvel Universe is not necessary to understand the story. As in the previous volume, each chapter begins with a Twitter conversation among the characters and ends with fan letters answered by the creators. VERDICT A delightful option for those who loved the first installment and for all graphic novel aficionados.—Marissa Lieberman, East Orange Public Library, NJ
