As Kori discovers that her supposed medical treatments are uncovering superhuman cosmic powers, she is forced to find her own voice and sense of worth. It is a perfect choice for parents of middle and high schoolers because it balances the high-stakes action of superheroes with a grounded, realistic portrayal of disability and identity.
