Cape (The League of Secret Heroes)

â€œReadersâ€¦will be enamored by this blend of history, mystery, and superpowered action.â€ â€”Booklist (starred review)
â€œHas the exciting pace of a superhero adventure.â€ â€”Kirkus Reviews

Hidden Figures meets Wonder Woman in this action-packed, comic-inspired adventure about a brilliant girl puzzler who discovers sheâ€™s part of a superhero teamâ€”the first in a new series!

Josie Oâ€™Malley does a lot to help out Mam after her father goes off to fight the Nazis, but she wishes she could do moreâ€”like all those caped heroes who now seem to have disappeared. If Josie canâ€™t fly and control weather like her idol, Zenobia, maybe she can put her math smarts to use cracking puzzles for the government.

After an official tosses out her puzzler test because sheâ€™s a girl, it soon becomes clear that an even more top-secret agency has its eye on Josie, along with two other applicants: Akiko and Mae. The trio bonds over their shared love of female superhero celebrities, from Hauntima to Zenobia to Hopscotch. But during one extraordinary afternoon, they find themselves transformed into the newest (and youngest!) superheroes in town. As the girlsâ€™ abilities slowly begin to emerge, they learn that their skills will be crucial in thwarting a shapeshifting henchman of Hitler, and, just maybe, in solving an even larger mystery about the superheroes whoâ€™ve recently gone missing.

Inspired by remarkable real-life women from World War IIâ€”the human computers and earliest programmers called â€œthe ENIAC Sixâ€â€”this pulse-pounding adventure features bold action and brave thinking, with forty-eight pages of comic book style graphic panels throughout the book. Readers will want to don their own capes for an adventure, and realize they have the power to be a superhero, too!
