Summary

I used to be plain old ordinary Holly . . . but now I've become EXTRAordinary Holly! Being struck by lightning and getting an amazing superpower wasn't how Holly thought that her day would go. But now it's happened, she might as well make the most of it . . . if only she could work out how to stop blowing everything up!

Electrigirl Summary

Electrigirl by Jo Cotterill

Holly Sparkes is just your average 12-year-old, that is, until she's hit by a bolt of lightning. Now Holly is EXTRAordinary. Like a human battery Holly can generate a massive amount of electricity in seconds, which could come in handy if she's ever going to solve the mystery of her best friend's disappearance. Because when you're dealing with the likes of Professor Macavity and her mysterious CyberSky corporation, you need all the help you can get! This exciting story includes black-and-white graphic novel style illustrations.

Electrigirl Reviews

'an innovative approach to the superhero story ... exciting and told with a touch of humour' * Anne Thompson, TheBookBag *
'A great fun read for anyone age 9+' * Midweek Mercury *
'Brett's drawings are distinctive, original and should draw in any eight-year-old; Cotterill's language is straightforward without appearing patronising.' * Alex O'Connell, The Times Saturday Review *
'...an exciting sci-fi adventure narrative' * The BookTrust *
'A delight from start to finish for younger readers' * Cotswold Preview *
'Original, clever, and smartly written...' * Teach Primary *
'... this book is perfect for reluctant readers, because the scenes that build tension, and the scenes of superhero action are all depicted by Cathy Brett as graphic comic strips... The next in the series is out on 1 August this year and I'm feeling tingly already.' * MinervaReads *
'The tale is told with panache and a cracking pace. It fizzes with excitement' * The School Librarian *
Part book, part comic, this book is fast, furious fun * TheGuardian.com *
