Dear Justice League by Michael
Northrop with illustrator Gustavo Duarte is a graphic novel for middle school
aged readers. This is a book built around the concept of members of the Justice
League answer their fan mail and address topics important to such readers. The
book features superheroes such as the Flash, Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman,
and others, answering questions about making mistakes, dealing with bullies,
self-esteem, and more. The heroes answer these questions and more while dealing
with dealing with their own lives and an alien invasion. It is a light hearted,
humorous, book aimed at younger readers that teaches a few things while also
containing great art and plenty of jokes.
While Amazon has
the book listed as intended for readers in the second and third grade, the use
of language as well as the jacket copy of the book makes it clear the read is
intended for the older crowd in middle school. Obviously, it could be read by
younger readers who are ready to read this sort of material and there is plenty
of content that appeals to adult readers as well.
If you think Superman getting a ticket for texting while flying is
funny or Aquaman being worried about smelling like fish, Dear Justice League by
Michael Northrop with illustrator Gustavo Duarte is the book for you as well as
any younger reader in your life. This fun read has also generated a planned
sequel titled, Dear Super-Villains. Following the idea of answering fan mail,
this book will address the fan mail of villains and is scheduled to be out sometime
in the fall of 2020.
