Juniper Jupiter is a super-hero – she’s super-kind, super-brave, super-fast, super-sneaky, super strong and she’s super-super-smart.  She has a stunning red cape and she can fly!  But it’s no big deal – isn’t that what all kids do?  But being a super-hero can be lonely sometimes and so. with a list of requirements in hand,  she goes in search of a side-kick …

This is a boldly illustrated fun read for young readers that has a regular, unassuming girl as its hero, one capable of solving her own problems and those of others, yet one who still needs a mate, as we all do.  A light-hearted read that puts a twist on finding friendship.
