For the most part, gone was the small little superheroes meets Truman Show we kind of got in the first arc (though it really could have been executed better) and instead, we get the tropey superhero lineage / identity crisis that has been done to death a thousand times before (and much better, too).

Well, a few days and Library edition two later, I can assuage all fears that my soothsayer powers are as strong as ever. Megan Wagner Lloyd and Michelle Mee Nutter have once again teamed up to tell a funny, heartfelt, and charming story of family, friendship, and growing up.At the end of my recent review of the first library edition, I remarked that the series seemed to be going in a direction I likely wouldn't care for, and I was concerned for my ongoing interest with, and engagement in the story. And when Avery finds out that her family might move across the country, things get even more complicated. So she's furious when Theo, her grumpy older brother, gets his own room instead, and her wild baby brother, Max, moves into the room she already shares with her clinging sister Pearl! Avery hatches a plan to finally get her own room, all while trying to get Max to sleep at night, navigating changes in her friendships, and working on an art entry for the fair. All Avery wants is her own room - her own space to be alone and make art. But she's tired of feeling squished by her six siblings! They're noisy and chaotic and the younger kids love her a little too much. She loves her neighborhood, school, and the end-of-summer fair she always goes to with her two best friends. especially when you're in a family of nine! Eleven-year-old Avery Lee loves living in Hickory Valley, Maryland. From the powerhouse duo behind the instant bestseller Allergic comes a spirited new graphic novel about finding your own space.
