Happy to indulge my inner child here when I plucked this book from the children’s/ YA section. No regrets (and totally not just for children I tell myself) A fun, short quick little read following Carol Danvers in her early years of training for the airforce. It was great to read a back story of something that was only touched upon in the films and enjoyed getting to know her life prior to becoming Captain Marvel.

It was easy to tell the target audience of this book is perhaps for those a bit younger than me (I’m feeling young teenage category) but I enjoyed the book nonetheless (as an older, definitely no longer in the young teenage category)! She’s one of my favourite marvel characters and the book definitely did her character justice.

Although at time it did read as more of a high school set up and dynamic throughout the book as opposed to hardcore hard nosed army training and a few slightly silly moments here and there. Some cheesiness too.

Some lovely carryover messages running throughout though such as the importance of friendship, doing things for the right reasons and sticking to your dreams no matter how impossible they might seem. Impossible not to feel uplifted after this little book and a great message to all the littler readers out there who couldn’t find a better role model than in Carol Danvers/ Captain Marvel as she is truly a kickass amazing woman which the book did true justice to!
