      K-Gr 2-An endearingly kinetic girlin a stroke of authorial geniusnarrates her own story in the third person. "Supersister bounds out of bed. Another super day. Hark! A call from the kitchen. Mother is in need. Supersister dashes down the stairs like a whistling locomotive." The details show an enthusiastic but lovably normal youngster who tries hard to do everything well: "After school, Supersister springs into action. First, she takes her dog, Poopsie, for a walk. Supersister is a super dog walker. She runs! She skips! She scoops! She doesn't step in anything. Almost." The simple text is accompanied by Dormer's watercolor and ink cartoons, which are bursting with vivacious humor. One particularly inspired touch: his main character has a translucent superhero mask. Who is this masked girl and why is she called "Supersister?" Why does she tie, and untie, her mother's shoes and daydream about new ways to help her mom? "Supersister" is a joy to read and a super example for soon-to-be siblings."Susan Weitz, formerly at Spencer-Van Etten School District, Spencer, NY"

      The book's first pages show the main character's transformation from ordinary kid to heroine. The story then describes Supersister's helpful "superpowers" (e.g., tying her mother's shoes), and near the end of the story readers learn that Mom is pregnant. The protagonist's boundless energy and enthusiasm are invigorating. Dormer's zippy illustrations move effortlessly among panels, full pages, and double-page spreads.
