Josie OMalley does a lot to help out Mam after her father goes off to fight the Nazis, but she wishes she could do morelike all those caped heroes who now seem to have disappeared. If Josie cant fly and control weather like her idol, Zenobia, maybe she can put her math smarts to use cracking puzzles for the government. After an official tosses out her puzzler test because shes a girl, it soon becomes clear that an even more top-secret agency has its eye on Josie, along with two other applicants: Akiko and Mae. The trio bonds over their shared love of female superhero celebrities. But during one extraordinary afternoon, they find themselves transformed into the newest (and youngest!) superheroes in town. As the girls abilities slowly begin to emerge, they learn that their skills will be crucial in thwarting a shapeshifting henchman of Hitler, and, just maybe, in solving an even larger mystery about the superheroes whove recently gone missing.Inspired by remarkable real-life women from World War IIthis pulse-pounding adventure features forty-eight pages of comic book style graphic panels throughout the book. Readers will want to don their own capes for an adventure, and realize they have the power to be a superhero, too!

The League of Secret Heroes

"Cape is a book with something for everyone--codes to crack, villains to vanquish, and a trio of superheroes who just might save the world. An absolutely original story, filled with so much excitement that the pages practically turn themselves." --Frances O'Roark Dowell, Edgar Award winning author of Dovey Coe

"A one-two punch of heroism and fun!" --Ingrid Law, Newbery Honor winner and New York Times bestselling author of Savvy

"Josie, Mae, and Akiko aren't just the friends and superheroes we need today, they're the friends and superheroes we need to be today. These girls rock!" --Liesl Shurtliff, New York Times bestselling author of the Time Castaways trilogy

"Kate Hannigan does more than write a rip-roaring girls' adventure story. She brings back to life real women who were real superheroines . . . along with some sadly forgotten but wonderful fictional superheroines who predated Wonder Woman. I can't wait for Book Two!" --Trina Robbins, author of Babes in Arms, Women in Comics During the Second World War
