**I decided that I would let my 7 year old daughter review this one. She is branching into the book reviewing and turning into a wonderful little reader. So this review is from her POV**
I really liked Batgirl. I liked how she was the new girl and how she didn't have any super powers like the other girls did. I never read or listened to the other books in this series, so I really liked how I could understand it and not be lost. Batgirl seems to be very strong and determined to go to this new school. She made friends which is hard when you are the new girl at school.
I also liked the reader. She had a very pretty voice and she seemed right for this reading part. I think I knew her voice because she sounded like Tinker Bell and I loved Tinker Bell! My mom is going to buy me the book to read so I can read along with the audiobook too!
