Donut the Destroyer - Sarah Graley

Donut the Destroyer - Sarah Graley

Donut the Destroyer, daughter of famous villain couple the Destroyers, lives in a world in which most people have some kind of power and are either heroes or villains.  Despite her heritage, she wants to go to Lionheart Academy and be a hero.  Her parents and best friend object, and once she attends, she finds suspicion from the instructor.  Luckily, she finds a couple of nerds who take her in, but will they be enough to keep away her scheming villainous ex-friend?  Yes.  This is not a meditation on morality, Watchmen or Irredeemable style.  It's for kids.  Donut's parents love and support her despite her decision.  It's basically a shiny happy story. The sketchy, cartoony art put me off, but the writing is fairly sharp and funny, and I wouldn't mind reading a sequel.  [3.5]
