Violeta will need to use all her new superpowers to protect her home of Hollow Hills from the strange creatures and send them back to wherever they came from.

Thank you to NetGalley and Oni Press for providing access to an early review copy of this title in exchange for my honest feedback.
After unintentionally releasing a horde of monsters by playing a vintage cassette tape backward, thirteen-year-old Violeta must navigate her dual life as a skateboarder and podcaster while embracing her new role as a superhero. Alongside her sidekick Alan, she utilizes her Superpunk abilities to protect Hollow Hills and her school from the supernatural chaos she inadvertently unleashes.
This graphic novel was a enjoyable read. I particularly appreciated the detailed illustrations, especially the two-page spreads. The author also includes Violeta's playlist, giving insight into the punk rock songs she listens to as she confronts the monsters. I am hopeful for a sequel.
I believe this book will be well-received by students, and I plan to add it to my library collection.

A great book to suggest to the kid who enjoys retro. It is also a great entry book for the kids who may think reading isn't "cool". I quite enjoyed it and will be buying it for my library!

This was a cute middle grade read reminiscent of Ghostbusters. The artwork was eye-catching and the inclusion of punk songs throughout was a nice touch. Superpunk is about a ragtag group of misfits; the punk girl, the nerdy podcaster, and the new girl. The end did have me wondering what was next for this crew.
